JANUARY 2014 THE SWORD 4 NAVY FENCING WINS TOP AWARD The Royal Navy men’s fencing team has been awarded Best Team at the RN’s annual sports awards, beating off stiff competition from rugby union, judo and cycling. It is the first time the team has won the Royal Navy’s top sporting accolade, and comes on the back of a successful season crowned by victory over the Army and RAF at the 2013 Interservices Fencing Competition. First competed in 1939, the Interservices pits swordsmen from all three services against each other in a day of intense but friendly competition. The Royal Navy were regular winners until 1957, when bayonet fencing was dropped from the competition. Since then the sport has been dominated by the other services, with a 20-year winning streak by the Army before the RAF rose to dominance in the 1980s. The Royal Navy did not win the title again until 2004 and since then have been snapping at the heels of the RAF fencers – narrowly losing the 2012 Interservices by one point. “In the early days, the fact that we had Royal Marines fencing bayonet led to numerous victories for the RN,” said Commander Mark Barton, Chairman of Navy Fencing. FOIL CO-ORDINATOR “It’s taken us a while to get over losing that weapon, but we’re back on form now Sophie Troiano, who represented and are looking to retain the title for as long as we can.” Great Britain for more than a decade and recently retired from international fencing, has been appointed foil co-ordinator on the International Youth Committee. She will be responsible for leading, managing and acting as representative for the foil cadet and junior age groups. Mark Nelson-Griffiths continues as assistant foil co-ordinator. Sophie competed at the 2012 Olympic Games and was ranked first in the British foil rankings last year.

NORTH EAST REGION ACHIEVE THREE MORE YEARS OF FUNDING Fencing North East has been granted £100,000 by Sport England through the Community Sport Activation Fund to continue its award winning work for a further three years. The funding will allow North East Regional Development Officer Beth Davidson to continue her role full-time in the region, focussing on growing the sport in deprived areas and disabled fencing. The proposal was developed by Beth by bringing together a partnership of Durham University, Northumbria University, British Fencing, England Fencing, Street Games, The Princes Trust, Stockton Riverside College and Fencing North East, all of which are Roger Barnes providing support to the project through direct and in-kind funding.

Men’s Foil

A field of 66 fencers competed for the men’s foil title, but both finalists emerged from the same first round poule. Marcus Mepstead (Sussex House) and Alex Tofalides (Salle Paul) were unlucky to draw each other so early on, but Mepstead won that encounter to make him fifth seed for the direct elimination stages whilst Tofalides was ranked 14th. Both fencers made light work of reaching the semi-finals where Mepstead beat Richard Kruse (Paul) 15-10 and Tofalides defeated Ben Peggs (Paul) 15-11.

With both fencers training together in the World Class Programme, it was no surprise that the first period was a cagey affair. But it was a surprise that the usually aggressive Tofalides decided to adopt defensive tactics. Although they did just enough to avoid a call of non- combativity during the first period, the score was deadlocked at 0-0 and in the second period non-combativity was called. Despite an early foray from Mepstead, the third period also ended in a non-combativity call and no score, with both fencers happy Men’s foil podium (from left): Richard Kruse, Ben Pegs, Alex Tofalides, Marcus Mepstead to wait for a final minute of fencing.

Nick Perry, Chris Greensides, The tactics of both fencers became David Gregory, Paul Sanchez-Letham more apparent in the second period, with Sanchez-Lethem looking to launch surprise attacks while Gregory sought to work off his opponent’s attacks using stop-hits or blocking counter-attacks. Gregory came out on top at the end of the second period, leading 7-5 and then extended his lead to 12-9.

As time ticked away, it became apparent that all was not well with Gregory, a seemingly innocuous hit to the thumb in his semi-final match now starting to take its toll. He tried to stay away from his opponent, but a fleche attack saw Sanchez-Lethem close the gap to 12-10 and then score another hit as he pushed Gregory over his back line. Looking to steady the ship, Gregory launched his first attack of the match successfully, but Sanchez-Lethem continued his own attacking game to take the score to 13-12.

A double hit in the men’s epee final JANUARY 2014 THE SWORD 12 Women’s Epee

Despite dropping a fight each in the first round, Corinna Lawrence (Unattached) and Georgina Usher (Lansdowne) fought their way through a field of 64 to make the gold medal match in this event.

Lawrence started the better of the two, employing skillful footwork on the attack and in defence to go 2-0 up. Usher’s experience played a big part in the pace of the fight though and she closed the gap to 4-3. A furious exchange followed, ending with both attacking each other in the low line and in turn blocking each other out. Lawrence reacted more sharply to go 5-3 up and then closed the first period with a well-timed fleche to lead 6-3. At 10-6 up in the second period, Lawrence looked to have done enough to close this fight out, but Usher had other ideas. She slowed the fight down and her patience paid off as she went into the break only two hits down at 11-9. Lawrence fleches at Usher

In the third period the two traded hits to take the score to 13-11. Again Usher’s experience shone through as she leveled the match at 13-13 with one attacking “ Now this enthralling fight came down to and one defensive move. Now this which fencer was brave enough to take the enthralling fight came down to which fencer was brave enough to take the match to their opponent.” match to their opponent. A short attack from Lawrence drew Usher’s counter, which was blocked and a single light came up for Lawrence – second-intention fencing at its best. With time running out, Usher was forced to go on the attack, playing into Lawrence’s hands who took the title 15-13. The bronze medals went to Jayne Crook (Wingerworth) and Amy Radford (Malvern).

In a repeat of the 2011 final, Honeybone started well, going 3-0 up, but Crutchett attacked insistently and before long the scores were level at 5-all. During this comeback, Honeybone was hurt and clearly flustered on a number of occasions. However, three sharp attacks from him in reply to only one from Crutchett saw them going into the break with the Truro fencer leading 8-6. At the start of the second period, an assured and mature display from Crutchett brought the scores level at 8-all, only for Honeybone to steal the lead back with a stunningly well-timed attack. A beautifully executed riposte from Crutchett, based on a supreme command of distance saw him level things up again. After a number of simultaneous attacks, Crutchett took the lead for the first time and at 13-11 up the Crutchett parries an attack from Honeybone momentum had swung. Honeybone was on the back foot and the fight looked to be over as Crutchett went ahead 14-12 and was on the brink of adding the 2013 title to the one he won in 2011. But it was not to be, as Honeybone dug deep and drew level with two well-executed attacks. A series of simultaneous attacks followed and it was Honeybone who held his nerve to take the title 15-14.

Despite dropping a fight each in the first round, Jessica Davies (Bath) and Sophie Williams (Truro) fought their way through to the final from a field of 38. Both fencers had one tricky fight on the way: Williams just edged out Jo Hutchison (Camden) 15-14 in the quarter-finals and Davies came through against Harriet Dixon (Millfield) by the same score in the semis.

In the final Davies started the stronger, quickly going into a 3-1 lead with a variety of moves. All of a sudden, Williams moved up a gear, scoring the next four hits, and maintained this pressure to take an 8-5 lead into the break. A more cautious approach from Davies at the start of the second period rewarded her for a short time, but then Williams sprung back to life to go 11-7 up. Despite a late rally from Davies, Williams was not to be outdone and took the title 15-10. The bronze medals went to Dixon and Zoe Robinson (Camden).

FIE CELEBRATES CENTENARY IN LAVISH STYLE (Photos by Serge Timacheff)

FIE President Alisher Usmanov is believed to have spent around £3 million on the most spectacular fencing party ever held to celebrate the organisation’s centenary in .

A gala dinner for more than 1000 guests from some 140 federations in the splendid Grand Palais, a backdrop of dazzling images across an entire wall culminating in a kaleidoscopic mix of glittering swords accompanied by Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance performed by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, a scantily clad troupe of dancers from the Lido de Paris holding epees and performing a specially created anniversary ballet, a brilliant back-projected 3D epee match and a fencing fashion show in which a dozen manufacturers presented imaginative ideas for outfits of the future were followed by stunning performances from two American virtuosi musicians – Grammy Award-winning jazz trumpeter Interior of the main hall and backdrop Chris Botti and violinist Caroline Campbell – all topped off with a live concert by British rock star Sting.

Dinner guests assemble

Usmanov’s special advisor Maxim Paramanov and his team worked for 6 months to prepare the Gala, with artistic director Nathalie Moellhausen, a member of the Italian epee team until the London 2012 Olympics and director of the opening ceremony at the Paris 2010 world cham- pionships, taking 18 months’ time off from her fencing career to develop all the special events. She drew inspiration from a line in The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, “We are all masters of ourselves”, to create a cleverly choreographed 3D match of five three-hit bouts in which a fencer takes a journey through five levels of fighting corresponding to the four elements of earth, air, water and fire, plus a fifth element called ether. He has to overcome obstacles related to these elements, as well as an unknown opponent whose identity he will discover if he is successful. After winning the match, our hero unmasks his opponent to reveal that he has been fighting... himself.

“The book offers a valuable lesson in any field of life,” said Moellhausen. “That we are responsible for our actions, whether they end in success or failure. We are the only masters of ourselves. For me the goal was to write a story that used Mapping technology to emphasise the beauty of fencing and show how modern systems of entertainment can “We are all masters of ourselves.” attract a worldwide audience.” Fencers present arms JANUARY 2014 THE SWORD 20 FIE Celebrations

JANUARY 2014 THE SWORD 22 LEON PAUL Fencing Centre

For 40 years former Olympic fencer Barry Paul had a dream: a purpose-built centre where fencers could train at any time of day and where major competitions could be held. In September 2013 that dream came true when Leon Paul opened the UK’s first combined training and competition venue. The facility gives clubs and their fencers the opportunity to train in a state-of- the-art centre every day of the week, all year round, as well as enjoying long sessions with no inconvenience or lost time setting up and packing away fencing apparatus.

Ever since women started fencing in the late 19th century, there has been a need for added protection. Initially, jackets Fig.5 were simply designed with extra quilting, as shown in an 1885 illustration of the latest outfit for the well-dressed lady Fig.6 fencer published in the French fashion journal, L’Art et la Mode (Fig. 1). She wears a white patent leather embossed jerkin with red plush velvet sleeves and a broad red silk corset belt.

By 1924 women were fencing at the Olympics and manufacturers realised they needed to meet a demand for protection that went beyond a bit of extra padding. By the late 20s the big names, like Souzy and Prieur, were making jackets with inside pockets into which two types of protector could be fitted: wire mesh (Fig. 3) or padded cloth. In 1934 Soudet was the first to offer protectors made from aluminium (Fig. 4) and soon all fencing equipment suppliers were offering a variety of slip-in cups.

JANUARY 2014 THE SWORD 29 REVIEWS Book reviews

FENCING AT WESTMINSTER by Edmund Gray and Edmund Wareham

Westminster was one of the first public schools to employ a fencing master, Domenico Angelo, from 1766 if not earlier. There has been a continuous tradition of fencing at the school ever since and in their book, Fencing at Westminster School 1766-2013, Edmund Gray and Edmund Wareham have meticulously recorded the personalities and achievements of its leading fencers. At the same time, they trace the development of fencing from an accomplishment of a gentleman to a modern sport against the background of the evolving school.

Those who fenced with distinction at Westminster and went on to have distinguished careers included Lord Adrian, Nobel Prize physiologist and Chancellor of Cambridge University, Pierre Turquet, who was a member of every British world championship sabre team from 1937 to 1955, Nigel Lawson, Chancellor of the Exchequer, the actor Corin Redgrave and Nick Halsted, president of the AFA.

The book, which marks 25 years of coaching at the school by Tomek Walicki, costs £10 (including p&p) and is available from Edmund Gray, 118 Church Way, Iffley, Oxford OX4 4EG.

Nicola Hull of Dream Fencing took the straightforward route to the final of the women’s epee and delivered a 15-12 win over Reading’s Verity Howell. Crawley’s Chiara McDermott won her third consecutive women’s foil title with clear wins throughout, beating Emily Goodchild of Wellington 15-6 in the final. In the men’s foil, Rafa Lagattolla of Saxon had to fend off the thrusts and lunges of Brighton & Hove’s Brian ‘Snake hips’ Causton and then the eventual top old-boy and joint bronze medallist Tony Bartlett of Lansdowne to reach the final.
