Rollstuhlfechter Maurice Schmidt und sein Trainer Gavrila Spiridon

My Coach – My Companion – My Friend

Gavrila Spiridon

Gavrila is multiple Romanian singles and team champion in almost all age groups. Since 2015, he has been training the next generation in wheelchair fencing as national youth coach. He has been training me since the first day of my fencing career in 2012.

“Maurice is great.He’ s fast and smart. I really enjoy working with him.
The special thing about him is that he learns very quickly and can put into practice what he has learned in a very short time.
You can see the fun he has in fencing. His great passion is immediately apparent and helps Maurice achieve many successes at big tournaments.“
