The Fenced In podcast is, in essence sports and fencing framed in a light, conversational piece. The show is hosted by two GB international fencers, Ben Peggs and Christopher Mollard, who have the added dynamic of being coach and student. They share their experience as well as their tried and tested ideas of how to continue to improve in this technical sport that we all remain so passionate about, through lockdown and beyond.
With nearly 30 years of knowledge between them, Chris and Ben discuss how to train and how to improve both their mental and physical fitness in such a way as to maximise their full potential. The duo explore the newest and continually evolving side of our sport that is ‘quarantine training’, sharing their experience from their own homes and exploring the many ways that fencers and athletes in other sports can make the most of training during this global pandemic. Discussing anything and everything - from mindfulness in the living room to point control in the garden, the show also features a much in demand ‘ask us anything’ segment where listeners have the opportunity to ask the questions they want the answers to.
If you’re wanting to make the most out of quarantine then let’s be Fenced In together.

Olympian, head coach at Brooklyn Bridge Fencing Club and to GB’s World silver medalist Marcus Mepstead - Dan Kellner
“We are fencers - we are trained to deal with change and adapt at a moments notice ”
An opportunity, that is how our latest guest views the current situation.
Dan Kellner talks us through his inspiring story as a fencer. With both highs and lows, that didn’t stop it from becoming a roaring success including being the first American in 33 years to win the Pan-American Games and finish 4th with team USA at 2004 Olympics Games.
The story doesn’t stop there, we discuss the move into his coaching career: how it started, where he is now, and how he’s managing Brooklyn Bridge Fencing Club in lockdown. Giving us a deeper understanding of his teaching methodologies that gave him successes with former students Race Imboden (former World #1 and Olympic medallist) and Sam Moelis (junior and cadet world champion) to current student and British number 1 - Marcus Mepstead (2019 World Championship Silver). It’s safe to say that Dan’s medal collection didn’t stop growing when he finished competing!
Dan also provides some insights into his routines at the moment and how he balances training and a life outside of fencing, what podcasts he listens to and what Tik Tok vides he’s been making!
