• COACH SALMON: As a sabrist, Nick's flexibility and quickness set him apart.  His developed attack is devastating and his tall stature often gives him an advantage on defense as well.  He will be able to grab onto this advantage early in his competitive bouts, and his ability to adjust will bring him much success.  Nick is a very team-oriented person and it has been a pleasure hearing his voice encouraging and celebrating his teammates as we train.
