  • Novel Lunge Biomechanics in Modern Sabre Fencing
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 112 ( 2015 ) 473 – 478 7th Asia-Pacific Congress on Sports Technology, APCST 2015 Novel Lunge Biomechanics in Modern Sabre Fencing Kevin C. Moorea; Frances M. E. Chowb; John Y. H. Chowb a Re-embody,b 1300 Asia Standard Tower, 59-65 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong SAR Sydney Sabre, Level 1, 112-116 Parramatta Road Stanmore NSW 2048, Australia Abstract Sabre is one of the three disciplines in the sport of fencing, characterised by the use of a lightweight cutting weapon to score hits on an opponent while maneuvering for position with rapid and dynamic footwork. One of the main techniques is the lunge: an explosive extension of the fencer’s body propelled by the non-dominant (ND) leg in which the dominant (D) leg is kicked forward. The lunge provides both power and range (up to 3m) to the fencer and helps accelerate the sword for a rapid strike. Classical fencing lunges differ in style but share a common mechanism: a forward leap originating in the ND leg that powers rotation in a highly mobile thoracic cage. A new generation of fencers has begun to deviate from the classical lunge mechanism in recent years with a ND leg adopting a rigid momentum-conserving structure. This constant ND knee extension yields a constant rotational acceleration of the pelvis toward the dominant side and emphases scapular rotation to transfer power to the sword arm compared to thoracic rotation in classical lunges. We hypothesized that the new lunge mechanism delivers greater power, efficiency, range, and acceleration than the classical lunge.

  • 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.
