2028
My name is Edison Tai — a rising junior at Ed W. Clark High School, Class of 2028, born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I compete in épée.
I train at Battle Born Fencing Club five days a week with my coaches, and hit the gym for 2 hours on weekends. I put in 4 hours of private lessons and around 8 hours of sparring every week. My private lesson coaches are Sorah Shin, Sangyup Lee, Walter Dragonetti, and Marian Tonchev.
In my free time, I enjoy staying active by playing pickleball and watching football on weekends. I also prioritize giving back to my community by volunteering with friends, and attending religious services helps me stay grounded and focused.
