	Fencing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest known depiction of a fencing bout, complete with practice weapons, safety equipment, and judges, is a relief in a temple near Luxor built by Ramesses III around 1190 BC.
		Bayonet fencing was somewhat slower to decline with competitions organized by some armed forces as late as the 1940s and 1950s.
		Their aim is to encourage "sensible" fencing and reward initiative and circumspection at the same time, in particular to reward fencers for properly made attacks, and penalize fencers for attacking into such an attack that lands, an action that could be lethal with sharp blades.

	Fencing Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com
		The modern sport of fencing originates in the late 19th century, when swords became obsolete as duels of honor became outlawed in most European countries and fencing, in order to survive, had to reinvent itself as a sport.
		As a sport, the emphasis of the modern sporting tradition is on training athletes to win at competitions with often arbitrarily defined rules, as opposed to the older, "classical" tradition of fencing, seeking to preserve training with the sword as a means of self-defense and for the formal duel.
		The clothing which is worn in modern fencing is made of tough cotton, nylon or kevlar.

		Although fencing is one of only four sports to have been involved in every modern Olympic Games since their inception in 1896, it has been mentioned in the past as one of the disciplines that may be eliminated from future Games.
		Fencing recently underwent numerous revisions to its rules and structure to improve its value as a (televised?) spectator sport, perhaps in the hopes of improving its Olympic viability.

	The Value of Timing in Tactics
		The main task of tactical fencing activities are: a) to avoid beeing hit, b) to prepare an action and, c) to score a hit.
		The feeling for "fencing surprise" is inborn but, under the influence of training, it improves in that: a) the ability to recognise and take advantage of appropriate situationsincreases with practice and experience b) the resistamce to opponenent's surprise action is also increased.
		Among the manifestations of "fencing surprise" are situations which: a) a competitor, usually when defending himself, takes advantage of the situation which has arisen mostly on the opponent's initative; b) the situation given rise to the "fencing surprise" is created by the fencer, mostly attacker, who imposes his movments and initiative.

	Frequently Asked Questions about Classical and Historical Fencing
		Because the techniques of classical fencing evolved from the traditions of the dueling ground, the focus of the training is to enable the fencer to survive in an actual combative situation on the terrain.
		Historical fencing encompasses all the weapons and styles that precede the 19th century, when the weapons were worn as sidearms for civilian defense and personal combat.
		Sabre fencing as taught at the Martinez Academy is based on the Italian dueling sabre of the late 19th century which, it is important to note, is different from the military weapon.
