St. Clair Clement - Fencing Master

Clement was born in Harlem in 1933. After his return from Germany as a veteran in 1960, he became a member of the Coaches Association of America (ACAOFA), attended the Olympic Training Ground Coaches College and continues to build and promote fencing programs to America, his Harlem community and Riverbank State Park in Upper Manhattan. He is a lifetime member of the United States Fencing Association of America (USFA) and co-founded the "East Harlem International Fencing Club" in Harlem in 1994. In 1996, Clement was the scorekeeper for the Womens World Cup finals held in Atlanta, Georgia prior to the Olympics. Subsequently, he was selected to assist with the pre-production assignment for the fencing venue and to service the international press and the public throughout the entire event.

In 2002, the United States Fencing Association of America "recognized and honored Clement for outstanding contribution to fencing clubs in America" during the annual Summer Nationals in Austin, Texas.

The New York City Empire State Summer Games made him the regional director, representing NYC's youth fencing at the event.

From 1999 to 2004 he taught the intricacies of fencing at St. Bernard's School for boys, a discipline that was not part of the curriculum prior to Clement's arrival. Prior to St. Bernard's, he ran a fencing program at Bronx Leadership academy.

Mr. Clement was a co-founder 'Workshop in Business Opportunities'. He also managed a career in advertising and public relations, running his own firm for 35 years, with clients ranging from the NYC Board of Education to AmEx to the NCAAP legal defense fund. He produced his own cable program on the Public Channel called 'People to People'.
