When should I buy my own equipment?
photos/6.jpgWe make every effort to provide equipment to students beginning to fence. Usually students will begin purchasing their own gear a few months after they begin lessons. Initially a fencer should have their own Mask, Jacket, Foil, Plastron (under-arm protector), Glove, and Knickers (fencing pants and socks).

Does Fencig Hurt?
photos/7.jpgNot if done properly. Although executed with appreciable energy, a good, clean fencing attack hurts no more than a tap on the shoulder. The force of the blow is normally absorbed by the flex of the blade. Reckless and overly aggressive fencers can occasionally deliver painful blows, however. Fencing is a martial art, so you should expect minor bruises and welts every now and again.

How did fencing originate?
photos/8.jpgSword fighting 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.
