A Short History of Ancient Fencing next Modern fencing.............. The word "Escrime" is used to signify the art of "Touching without being touched". It seems that the word "Carma" coming from Sanskrit meaning fencing. An old French word "Escremie" or "Eskermie" is also used to specify the meaning of "Escrime" or fencing. Since the origin of humankind, people have tried to compensate for their physical weakness by inventing weapons to defend themselves against animals and other human beings, or to conquer them. The first weapons were made from wood, stone and then metal. Weapons have been developed and evolved to follow patterns reflecting their value in the social, artistic and technological aspects of various cultures. Weapons have been used to settle personal disputes, battles between small tribes and between nations. Eventually, the use of weapons led to man trying to develop perfect methods of combat. People wanted to be able to maximize their most effective strengths and skills. For all people, learning how to handle and control a weapon immediately led to an important subject: the art of fencing. Mention was made in sacred books, in ancient India, containing the principles of weapon exercises shown by the Brahmans, the first professionals who taught fencing lessons in public places. Later on, this science of fencing was strictly reserved for the warrior class

A Brief History of Fencing Home What is Fencing? AC Fencing News 2005-2006 Tournament Calendar ... AC Fencing Classes A BRIEF HISTORY OF FENCING The use of armor during the Middle Ages made swordsmanship virtually obsolete. The broadsword was used against armor, but only as a crude hacking device requiring sheer strength rather than skill. The swords of that period were rather heavy, and cutting the opponent with the edge was emphasized. Further, since the sword was frequently a weapon of defense against thieves, tactics included wrestling holds and tricks designed to disarm or immobilize the opponent to set him up for the killing blow. By making armor obsolete, the development of firearms ironically brought swordplay back into prominence during the 15th century. Soldiers once again had to acquire some skill with the sword, and fencing also emerged as a pastime for gentlemen. Fencing Masters organized guilds, which taught various moves to initiates while protecting them as trade secrets from outsiders. The Queen Catherine de Médici of France had many Italian Fencing Masters come to France and develop fencing there. She was so successful that in 1567, her son, King Charles IX, officially recognized the French Fencing Academy, and awarded many hereditary titles to the new French fencing masters. These new masters were the first to classify and define fencing attacks and parries. In 1573 Henry de St. Didier was the first french fencing master to publish a treatise, and one of the first to advocate heavy use of the Épeé instead of the Rapier.

For one hundred years, the Olympics have brought glory to a select group of countries, and which have seen the rise of many great athletes who have earned the right to be grouped with the best there ever was and, in the process, have gained recognition for their native lands. Cuba then withdrew from the Olympic Games until the 1924 event in Paris. That was where Haiti made its mark, literally, in the shooting competition. The team of Ludovic Augustin, Astrel Rolland, Ludovic Valborge, Destin Destine and Eloi Metullus scored a total of 646 points in the free rifle competition, to finish in a tie with France behind the United States (676 points). The French eventually won a play-off, leaving Haiti to settle for bronze. Four years later, Silvio Cator, who also served as captain of the Haitian national soccer team, took the long jump silver medal in track and field with a leap of 7.58 meters. This was to be the last Caribbean medal-earning performance for the next 20 years.

Home The History of the Fencing Profession Maître Gary Worsfield F.A.C. Henry the 8th granted Letters Patent to the London Masters of Defense, giving them a virtual monopoly on the teaching of fencing. The Master-of-Armes had developed a special place in society. He could teach his art and was regarded as an authority in matters of honour. Fencing at this time encompassed not only the scientific principles in the use of the sword but also the essential qualities of a gentleman's' education. The Master-of-Armes was one of the original educators to the aristocratic class, he had become a teacher of physical exercise, good manners and gentlemanly etiquette. All considered essential qualities of a good education. The profession progressively grew reaching a peak somewhere between the end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries. The fact that fencing was around, practiced at all the exclusive universities and popular at the start of a changing attitude towards sport, made it an obvious inclusion in World Events, Expositions and Games of the time. Fencing is one of the original Olympic sports, and continues this uninterrupted tradition into the start of the 21st century with the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Saxon Fencing Club's A Fencing History return to site guide please scroll down: left to right: a 1960's Italian foil, a 1790 English small sword, and a modern French foil. it appears that Philibert de la Touche (a very appropriate name for a fencer!) first mentions the use of foils at the court of Louis XIV in his "Les Vrays Principes de l'Espée Seule" They were notable for their elaborate crown-shaped guards. Traditionally it is considered that they were introduced as a safe alternative for learning swordplay. However, practice smallswords and rapiers were being made for that purpose. Some modern opinions suggest that it is more likely that foil was developed purely as a game, right from the start, to entertain as well as show swordplay skills. Monsieur Labat confirms these rules in his "L'Art En Fait d'Armes" Most of these would be instantly recognisable to the modern fencer. The target area then being defined as between collar and belt (For those pulling their belts right up, they had to be a full foot below the chin!) Sir William Hope describes the rules in his "A New, Short, and Easy Method of Fencing"

"The art of sword-fighting is a lot like chess. You have to think before you move." - Chinese Literature Fencing is one of the most unique sports in that every technique that is performed today has evolved from the philosophy and teachings of hundreds of people. The modern style of fencing is not just a sport but a mental game involving trickery and thinking as well as speed and grace. Although the 'modern' fencing style has only recently evolved, the first fencing bouts were held in ancient Egypt. Bizarrely these bouts mimicked ours in that were they fought with a foil-like weapon that had a protective guard over it's tip, involved face masks and had judges. These matches were held in honour of the victory of King Ramses III over the Libyans. Fencing was also popular with the Greeks who incorporated it in their Olympic games. This form of fencing was virtually unrecognisable from the modern form. It involved spears, swords, shields and armour and was (understandably) less graceful than the modern variant. The first blade to resemble our modern weapons originated in the Renaissance period of the 14th century. This was a period when gunpowder was being used more by the armed forces, so heavy armour became useless. The troops began to wear less and less armour to enable greater maneuverability. Thus a weapon that was quick and deadly was developed to fight with. This weapon was named the 'rapier' and was the grandfather of the epee. Despite the fact that the weapon resembled an epee, it was usually used with a small shield or dagger in one hand. Naturally the fencing techniques used with the rapier was very different from today's style.

Oneonta State Fencing Club History of Fencing - Where did it start? Swordfighting as sport has existed since ancient Egypt, and has been practiced in many forms in various cultures since then. Although jousting and tournament combat was a popular sport in the European middle ages, modern FIE fencing owes more to unarmoured dueling forms that evolved from 16th century rapier combat. Rapiers evolved from cut-and-thrust military swords, but were most popular amongst civilians who used it for self-defence and dueling. Rapiers were edged, but the primary means of attack was the thrust. Rapier fencing spread from Spain and Italy to northwest Europe, in spite of the objections of masters such as George Silver who preferred traditional cutting weapons such the English broad sword. Fencing Home Page Club Constitution Introduction to Fencing History of Fencing ... Phys Ed 160 The Spanish school, under masters such as Narvaez and Thibault, became a complicated and mystical affair whose geometrical theories required much practice to master. Italian masters like Agrippa and Capo Ferro developed a more pragmatic school in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, introducing innovations such as linear fencing and the lunge. By the 18th century, the rapier had evolved to a simpler, shorter, and lighter design that was popularized in France as the small sword. Although the small sword often had an edge, it was only to discourage the opponent from grabbing the blade, and the weapon was used exclusively for thrusting. The light weight made a more complex and defensive style possible, and the French masters developed a school based on defence with the sword, subtlety of movement, and complex attacks. When buttoned with a leather safety tip that resembled a flower bud, the small sword was known as le fleuret, and was identical in use to the modern foil (still known as le fleuret in French). Indeed, the French small sword school forms the basis of most of modern fencing theory.

A Brief History of Fencing The Art of Fencing The skilful use of a sword according to established rules and movements was practised by the ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and Romans as well as the Chinese and the Japanese, not only in war but also in exercise and in entertainment. The development of fencing techniques and the history of the sword are interlinked. As new needs for the sword arise, the sword has to be modified accordingly. And as new models are made with new material and improved methods of construction, new techniques are devised. In the 16th century, with the increasing use of firearms on the battlefields, the role of the sword became limited to duelling. Duelling reached its peak in the high incidence of duels (mensur) in the German universities in the 19th century. It, however, saw a decline toward the end of the century and in time was banned altogether. As a result, fencing passed from the domain of the duel to that of sport. The three weapons used in the sport of fencing are the sabre, the épée and the foil. With the study and practice of swordsmanship with these weapons, fencing became an art. The prototype for the sabre as represented in an edged weapon with a curved blade and ornamental elements forming a partial knuckle guard had existed in Europe since classical antiquity. During the Middle Ages, varieties of broadswords designed principally for cutting were used throughout Europe. By the 16th and 17th centuries, the rapier replaced the broadsword as a side arm and emphasis shifted to the use of the point rather than the cut. However, mounted troops still required a cutting weapon and the sabre, based on eastern models, filled this need.

XXVIII OLYMPICS August 16 , 2004 The summer Olympics in Athens got underway over the weekend without any major security or facilities delays, but the U.S. team has struggled so far in its traditional strengths of basketball and swimming. Jeffrey Brown gets a progress report on the games from Sports Illustrated writer Brian Cazeneuve in Athens. JEFFREY BROWN: On the one hand after all the worry over security, drugs and incomplete facilities, the Olympics are underway. And the focus is mostly where it arguably belongs: On the athletics. On the other hand, for Americans at least, the athletic start has been shaky at best. Among the shakiest the U.S. men's basketball team made up of NBA players, was trounced yesterday by Puerto Rico in its first game. It's the first-ever loss for the U.S. with professionals playing. Also yesterday the men's swimming team had its worst showing ever in the 400-meter freestyle relay coming in third behind South Africa and the Netherlands. And today the most publicized of those swimmers, 19-year-old Michael Phelps, lost his much- anticipated showdown with Australian star Ian Thorpe in the 200-meter freestyle. Phelps finished third. For an update from Athens I'm joined by Brian Cazeneuve, Olympics writer for Sports Illustrated now covering his 10th games.

With too little space to properly host the world, Flushing Meadows in Queens was the centerpiece of the serious bid for the 1984 Olympics. It was the focal point for other potential bids as well. NYC2012's Manhattan-centric approach is well outside the historic pattern. Indeed, this is only the first effort to host a world event in Manhattan since the disastrous 1892 World's Fair bid . New York was considered the heavy favorite to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas, but the financial backers insisted on using Central Park. The controversy fatally wounded New York's chances, and Congress gave the fair to Chicago. The only event of this nature held in Manhattan was the 1853 Crystal Palace Exposition, though this smaller event (if fit on today's Bryant Park) is not considered a proper World's Fair.
