Build the system that makes it count.

“He didn’t just give answers. He challenged them to think, and built their confidence and independence over time. He cares about long-term development, with no shortcuts.”

“What makes Ari unique is that he's been through the entire spectrum of mental challenges in modern épée. He climbed to remarkable heights young, saw results slip away, came back through injuries and changes, and beat some of the world's best along the way. Having the wisdom of what it takes to overcome each setback makes him uniquely positioned to guide others.”

“The biggest thing Ari helped me develop was to not let a bad touch, bout, or tournament define my career. No one fences perfectly all the time. Learning from mistakes instead of being upset over them has been a really big key in my fencing.”

“What I carry now is the self-assurance that I can succeed at whatever I put my mind to, with the right focus and determination.”

“The biggest shift was focusing on the process rather than the results. I came out with a system I run on my own now: routines for before a bout, between touches, and between bouts.”

“We worked on my confidence. I'd been getting better but still doubted myself. Ari taught me to stop caring who I was fencing and trust that I belonged. That same confidence carried into a high-pressure job and into putting myself out there publicly, instead of overthinking it.”

“Ari helped teach me that an athlete's results in fencing aren't tied to their worth as a person. Fencing is a tool to develop skills for life. I pass this on to the youth fencers at my club regularly.”

“I went into competitions feeling overwhelmed and scattered. Instead of forcing confidence or ignoring stress, I started using the mental practices Ari modeled. Years later, meditation is still a daily practice, and it has helped me in my military career more than almost any habit I built as an athlete.”

“It was my last collegiate bout, down 2-4 with 45 seconds, a qualifying spot on the line. I told myself the mantra Ari had explored with me years before. Instead of forcing it, I focused on the flow. That shift turned the tide, and I secured the spot.”
