About TOUCHÉ

Fencing arrived in France in 16th century borrowing from the Italian art. By the 18th century, the French school had become the European standard. When Italian master Dominico Angelo published his fencing manual in 1763, Bonjour India brings to India two visiting masters from France that continue the French tradition of fencing. Over two weeks, these masters will provide fencing training sessions to around 50 competitive and amateur fencers from India. The masterclass will end with a demonstration and a competition bringing together fencers from all over India.

Fencing Masters- Oliver Lambert & Jean-Bernard Duchateau

Olivier and Jean are former French fencers. Oliver competed in the team foil event at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Jean is a famous French Fencer and has played in numerous world championships.
