On Guard

EXECUTIVE: Ed Moore, principal and cloud coach at Red Sneaker in Fort Myers. Firm does mobile marketing and search engine optimization for a variety of clients.

DIVERSION: Training at fencing to develop quickness, agility, instincts and tactical forethought under coach Charlie Johnson of the Southwest Florida Fencing Academy in Fort Myers.

GAIN AN EDGE: Fencing, says Moore, combines “mind and body.”
Moore recalls coach Johnson once blind-folding the class with instructions to “listen to the shuffle of the feet. You're going to start feeling where the other person is and where the sword is.” It becomes part of you — if you really embrace it, the 61-year-old Moore says.
