Issues relevant to fencing and other swordfighting martial arts
This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) with answers,
compiled for the UseNet newsgroup rec.sport.fencing. It is intended
to reduce repetitive discussions on the Net by addressing commonly
raised topics. This document is maintained by Morgan Burke
(morgan@sitka.triumf.ca). Contributions, corrections, and suggestions
are welcome.
Most of the questions and answers pertain to FIE (Olympic) Fencing;
Japanese fencing (kendo, kenjustsu, iaido, etc.) is treated in a
separate FAQ list ("Japanese Sword Arts") that can occasionally be
found in the newsgroups rec.sport.fencing or rec.martial-arts, or on
the IAIDO-L mailing list (see section 3.8 for details). The Japanese
Sword Arts FAQ is maintained by Neil Gendzwill
(gendzwill@SEDSystems.ca).
The Fencing FAQ is presented in three parts:
1. GENERAL: common questions about starting fencing, training, and
rules of competition
2. EQUIPMENT: fencing equipment, maintenance, and troubleshooting
3. REFERENCE: organizations, suppliers, reading materials, net
resources, glossary, etc.
All parts can be found on the UseNet newsgroups rec.sport.fencing,
rec.answers, or news.answers. Otherwise, consult section 3.8 for
information on finding archived copies of this document.
