Education; Injuries; Physical Activities; *Physical Education; *Safety; *Safety Education; Safety Equipment ABSTRACT This anthology of articles concerned with injury in sports and safety procedures is divided into three parts. Part One is devoted to general discussions of safety and a guiding philosophy for accident prevention. Part Two develops articles on administration and supervision, including discussions of health examination, legal liability, facilities, equipment, and supplies. Part Three is broken down into nine sections in which individual sports and their safety problems are considered. The nine section headings are safety in team sports (baseball, basketball, soccer, others); safety in individual sports (archery, bowling, others); safety in dual sports (Fencing, judo, wrestling); safety in aquatic activities; safety in open water aquatic sports; safety in winter sports; safety in outing activities (fishing, camping, hunting and shooting); safety in dance and in children's movement (developmental and play activities).

  • Fencing: a Modern Sport
    Fencing: A Modern Sport (Recreated from the document that formerly resided on the USFA website [and we would link to it if it was still available on the USFA site!]) The sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage. Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a 6-feet by 44-feet strip. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically – a lot more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn. The Bout Competitors win a fencing bout (what an individual “game” is called) by being the first to score 15 points (in direct elimination play) or 5 points (in preliminary pool play) against their opponent, or by having a higher score than their opponent when the time limit expires. Each time a fencer lands a valid hit – a touch - on their opponent, they receive one point. The time limit for direct elimination matches is nine minutes - three three-minute periods with a one minute break between each. Fencers are penalized for crossing the lateral boundaries of the strip, while retreating off the rear limit of their side results in a touch awarded to their opponent. Team matches feature three fencers squaring off against another team of three in a "relay" format. Each team member fences every member of the opposing team in sequence over 9 rounds until one team reaches 45 touches or has the higher score when time expires in the final round.

  • The Neapolitan School of Fencing: Its Origins and Early Characteristics
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum 9 DOI 10.1515/apd-2015-0012 The Neapolitan School of Fencing: Its Origins and Early Characteristics Charles Blair Abstract – The Neapolitan school of fencing, which received official sanction after the reunification of Italy in the nineteenth century, originated in the seventeenth century. It was originally best known as a system of sword and dagger fencing. It is documented as such in both Italian and Spanish sources during the reign of Carlos II and the War of the Spanish Succession (1665-1714). This article discusses the evidence from both sets of sources during this period, comparing and contrasting the Neapolitan approach to previous, contemporary and subsequent approaches in order to provide the necessary historical context for its origin and development. I. ORIGIN OF THE NEAPOLITAN SCHOOL The Neapolitan school of fencing begins with Giovan Battista (“Titta”) Marcelli, who died in 1685.1 He lived until he was past 90, so he cannot have been born later than 1595. Marcelli was from an old Roman family, but at some point he moved from Rome to Naples; we do not know when or why. We do know that he left a brother Lelio behind in Rome, and a son who published a treatise in 1686. Marcelli not only lived to an advanced age; we are told that even towards the end of his life he continued to give lessons and move like a man in the prime of life. Marcelli was known for a lightning-fast lunge: before one realized what was happening, one was hit; therefore, one could not craft a defence.

  • Information and Background Guide
    Information Extracted From US Fencing Association’s Parent/Spectator Guide Information and Background Guide A far cry from the choreographed bouts portrayed on film, the sport of fencing is dynamic, fast and athletic. Weapons Foil, epee and saber are the three weapons used in the sport of fencing. While it is not unusual for fencers to compete in all three events, an athlete typically chooses to hone their skills in one weapon. Foil – The Sport of Kings The foil is a descendant of the light court sword formally used by nobility to train for duels. The foil has a flexible rectangular blade, approximately 35 inches in length and weighs less than one pound. Points are scored with the tip of the blade and must land within the torso of the body. The valid target area in foil is the torso from the shoulders to the groin in the front and to the waist in the back. It does not include the arms, neck, head and legs. This concept of on-target and off- target evolved from the theory of 18th-century fencing masters who instructed their pupils to only attack the vital areas of the body – i.e. the torso. Of course, the head is also a vital area of the body, but attacks to the face were considered unsporting and therefore discouraged. The foil fencer’s uniform includes a metallic vest (called a lamé), which covers the valid target area so that a valid touch will register on the scoring machine. The flexible nature of the foil blade permits the modern elite foil fencer to attack an opponent from seemingly impossible angles.
