At 65, Erica Julien saw a one-inch ad for fencing lessons in the paper. Six years later, she’s now a white-haired, 6-time champ of national competitions with the Cape Fear Fencing Association. Beck prefers the epee to the foil or saber, and carries her equipment — including a mask of mesh so thick that it’s stabbed with an ice pick before bouts as a safety check — in a golf bag travel box. Julien makes her home in Wilmington, N.C.
