Fencing in Malaysia has come a long way since Ronnie Theseira represented the country in foil, epee and sabre in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo.

Theseira’s long enduring interest in this duelling sport speaks well for fencing. At the ripe old age of 86, he still makes the weekend journey from Malacca to teach fencing at the Royal Lake Club.
