Timeline
Maitre Michel Alaux (1924–1974) was a French-American fencing master who co-coached the United States Olympic fencing teams in 1964, 1968, and 1972.
Internationally recognized for his achievements in the sport and a regular contributor to fencing publications, he has been credited with developing a holistic approach to fencing that helped to bridge the gap between classical schools and the modern Olympic fencing style as it is known today.
Michel Alaux graduated from the military college, Fort Carré d'Antibes, in 1947 and established himself in his club, L'Association Jean Louis in Montpellier, France.
There, he trained a number of foil and épée champions, the most well-known being Christian d'Oriola, named Fencer of the 20th Century by the FIE, International Fencing Federation.
Michel Alaux was awarded two Medals of Honor by the French Government's Ministry of Sports in recognition of his contribution to fencing: Bronze, in 1949, for the World Championships, followed by Gold, in 1952, for the Helsinki Olympics.
At the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, Christian d'Oriola won two Gold medals for individual and team foil, winning all ten bouts in the team events.
The French national press, Le Monde and Le Figaro, congratulated Maitre Alaux.
In 1956, Michel Alaux was invited to the US by the NY Fencers Club.
He chaired the 1962–63 U.S. Committee which developed A Text for Defining Fencing Terms.
For his contributions to sports education and culture, he was inducted into l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques in 1962.
He was a contributor to US, UK, and French fencing journals.
He served three times as US Fencing Olympic coach: 1964 Summer Olympics, Tokyo; 1968 Summer Olympics, Mexico City; 1972 Summer Olympics, Munich; and several times US Nationals, Pan American, and World Championship coach.
He chaired and directed the committee which devised the official examination for the first professional diploma of Fencing Master in the US (1965).
Seen as a glamorous figure by the media, he served as a fencing consultant to TV, newspapers & magazines.
He remained head fencing master of the NY Fencers Club until his death in 1974, at the age of fifty.
In the course of his US fencing career, Michel Alaux played a key role in developing American fencing official standards and professional requirements.
Following his death in 1974, twelve annual US Grand Open competitions (1975–1987) were named after him: The Michel Alaux Grand Open was a three-day international event "considered essentially the same as the Nationals".
He is the author of Modern Fencing (Charles Scribner's Sons New York. 1975. ISBN 0684141167).
He was inducted into the US Fencing Hall of Fame in 2006.
