Dan Taylor-McNally, the founder of
Have Blade, has been fencing for 25
years and was the Junior Division
Champion, the Inland Empire Division
Champion, and was rated 86th in the
nation at the National Championships.
Dan has taught fencing in Seattle
during PE and after school through
private and public high schools and
middle schools, churches, boys and
girls clubs, parks and recreation
departments, and private lessons. He
successfully taught classes of over 100
students. We get many comments on
what a great instructor Dan is with his
demeanor and teaching style.

Would you like a free demo for your
group?
For fencing demos, to get classes
started or to get training to teach your
students fencing, please contact us.
To see if your students would be
interested, we would be happy to do a
one hour, one-time fencing demo. We
do one or two hour demonstrations for
groups of up to sixty for ages 8 and up
(or groups up to 25 for Little Tikes nerf
fencing ages 4-7) for scout, church,
community, and other groups as well as
business functions and other social
gatherings. Contact us for more
information. We are motivated to get
programs started, so please let us know
what we need to do to get this started
at your facility.
