(Photo - Sylvia Earl) 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 London 2012 Olympic Games and was ranked first in the British foil rankings last year. Second Sea Lord Vice Admiral David Steel presents the team with their trophy 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.

    Mr. Thomas Bach President International Olympic Committee Château de Vidy Case postale 356 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland Dear President Bach: Human Rights First welcomed your successful efforts and those of the entire International Olympic Committee to amend Principle 6, the anti-discrimination provision of the Olympic Charter, to include specific reference to sexual orientation. As you know, discrimination and violence against lesbians, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people is of great concern worldwide, and the IOC’s leadership on this issue stands as an example to all. This important advance is now facing a critical test. Kazakhstan, a country that is vying to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, is considering legislation patterned on a controversial Russian law that would ban "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations." The bill has been passed by the Kazakh legislature. If it is signed into law, it will threaten the fundamental freedoms, and indeed the safety, of LGBT people in Kazakhstan. Because of Kazakhstan’s Olympic bid and the clarity of Principle 6, you and the IOC are in a unique position to weigh in on this pending law. We ask you to urge Kazakh President Nursultan Nazabayev to honor his country's international human rights commitments and reject the homophobic bill now awaiting his signature. The situation for members of the LGBT community in Kazakhstan is already precarious. Many LGBT people face discrimination and violence; some remain closeted out of fear. Police have failed consistently to respond to acts of violence against LGBT people, and in some cases police have perpetrated these acts. A recent wave of homophobic rhetoric has included calls for blood tests to identify and root out gay men.

    The phenomenal success of Team GB is something we can all celebrate because in part it is something we all own. It is arguably one of the best co-operative movements of our modern time. The athletes are supported by a team of people behind them, including coaches, physios, nutritionists, performance analysts and so on, all funded by the public through lottery and government spending. They have repaid that investment in gold, silver and bronze aplenty making this the best ever away games for the Team. The importance of these games should not be underestimated. There was immense pressure on all involved to match the success of London 2012. A home game medal tally is something that can rarely be repeated away, which is why the target was set to beat our haul in Beijing, but success is not simply about medals. It is as much about performance and many of athletes achieved great things beyond expectation despite not being in the top three. One great example, which I was lucky enough to see live in Rio, was our fencing team. They are the nicest bunch you can meet and their target for Rio was eight to medal so their fourth place was at the higher end of expectations. Richard Kruse fought gallantly and looking at social media reaction back home he seemed to have enlightened and excited people about a sport they had not watched before. That too is one of the inevitable outcomes of a successful Olympic games; the inspiration factor. People watching these games, especially youngsters, will hopefully get that twitch of inspiration.

  • Object of the Objec Points (In the Time Eliminatio Epee and First Fence
    Basics of Competitiion Object of the Bout The object of a fencing bout (“game”) is to effectively score 15 points (inn direct elimination play) or five points (in preliminary pool play) before your opponent, or have a higher score than your opponent when the time limit expires. Points are received by making a touch in the opponent’s target area. Direct elimination matches consist of three three‐minute periods with a one‐minute break between each in epee and foil. In saber, each the first period lasts for eight touuches and the second period ends when the first fencer scores 15 points. Penalties Penalties are divided into four categories. Category One All Category One penalties are interdependent. Upon the first occurrence of an offense during a bout, the fencer is warned and receives a yellow card. Committing any additional offense during the bout will result in the offender receiving a red card and the opponent receiving a penalty touch. Category Two All Category Two penalties are also interdependent. A fencer is given a red card upon first and any subsequent infraction during a bout. Both Category One and Two infractions result in the annulment of a touch made by the offending fencer while committing the offense. Category Three Category Three penalties may be assessed for infractions against safety or the order of the competition. Such infractions can result in penalty touches (red card) or expulsion (black card) from the competition. Category Four The Category Four penalties involve unsportsmanlike conduct, using fraudulently modified equipment, collusion or brutality. The infractions result in automatic expulsion (black card) from the competition.

  • The Concealment of Violence in the History of Fencing: Semantics, Codification, and Deterritorialization
    The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence Vol. II, Issue 2/2018 © The Authors 2018 Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ The Concealment of Violence in the History of Fencing: Semantics, Codification, and Deterritorialization Elise Defrasne Ait-Said Cognition and Action Group (UMR 8257, Université Paris-Descartes), France Abstract: Depending on historical periods and individual perspectives, fencing has been defined in various ways. Indeed, fencing has been regarded as an art, and/or a science, and/or a sport, and/or a game. This paper shows that those various attempts to define fencing throughout history are strategies aiming to conceal the founding violence of fencing (although these strategies do not prevent the emergence of further forms of violence). The study demonstrates that these strategies pertain to semantics, to regulation and codification of fencing, and to more recent phenomena which are linked to the deterritorialization of the practice of fencing.

    Derbyshire School Games: Fencing 2. ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES SECTION 2. ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES AUTUMN TERM COMPETITION SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER 2020 Derbyshire School Games: Fencing 2. ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES FENCING: THE BASICS There are three forms of modern fencing. Each type involves using a different style of weapon and a different set of rules. However, the basic objective of each discipline is to score points by making contact with your opponent. The foil is a flexible, lightweight, rectangular- shaped sword. Points are scored by touching the chest of your opponent with the tip of the blade. The epee is similar in shape but is bigger and heavier than the foil. Again, points are scored with the tip of the blade, but competitors are permitted to strike anywhere on the body. LEARNING CHALLENGE The sabre permits competitors to score with the edge of the blade, ensuring its place as the • Can you find out about the different types of grip when holding your weapon? fastest and most challenging discipline. • Which other type of fencing is not an Olympic sport? • What are the similarities and differences with each type of fencing?

ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES FENCING: HISTORY Competitive fencing is one of five activities which have been featured in every one of the modern Olympic Games, the other four being athletics, cycling, swimming, and gymnastics. Italy (125 medals) and France (118) are the two most successful nations in the sport’s Olympic history. Great Britain has only won nine fencing medals – one gold and eight silvers.
