A fencing coach foiled a robbery in Nashville last month by using his épée with brilliant effect. Franco Scaramuzza was returning home from fencing practice when he saw two men pepper-spray a couple and steal a purse. He grabbed his sword and charged, yelling at the top of his lungs. “They completely panicked,” he said, “dropped everything they stole and really took off.” Police later arrested two suspects. Scaramuzza said his fencing training had prepared him for action. “You have to overcome your own fears,” he said.
