Creation of a Men's Fencing Club Team II. Achievements in MACFA Division III III. The Cornell Fencing Tradition (From Cornell Athletic Department) In 1894, a group of Cornell students loved the sport of fencing so much, they formed the Cornell fencing club. Little did these students know, but their informal club would develop into one of the finest collegiate fencing programs in the country. In 1927 Cornell won the coveted Intercollegiates foil championship, defeating Army, Yale, Columbia, Navy, and Pennsylvania. From left. Seated: S. S. Robbins '28, Capt.

Charles W. Eliot Home Page Cleveland, Ohio How to turn on moody learners This site will describe a unit taught by Meryl T.Johnson at Charles W Eliot Middle School in the Cleveland Municipal School District, Cleveland, Ohio. The class consists of twenty eighth-grade students with a variety of ablilities and learning styles. Students are selected for the class because they are either repeaters and/or students with attendance problems the preceding year. The class is designed around the following philsophy: high academic and behavioral standards + resources and attentive support = student success.(In this case, success is defined as "continuous improvement".) In order to add variety to the learning experience, a community volunteer comes in once a week for eight weeks and teaches fencing to these students. The fencing lessons are applied across the curriculum, using the olympics as the major focus. The unit culminates with a grand fencing olympiad in the auditorium. The following is an eight-week outline.

Brownielocks and The 3 Bears Present Cartoon Fun and The History of the Olympics Since the Olympic games go way back to the early Greeks, to do an entire history on one page is a bit overwhelming. So, I'll give you a brief summation of how it all began, and then provide some further links for additional information. So, how and why did it all begin? In ancient Greece, they often combined religious festivals with sporting events, to honor certain gods. The Greeks held the following: The Pythian Games The Nemean Games The Isthmian Games The Olympic Games It was the last one, the Olympics, that were held for the Greek God Zeus and were also the most popular with the people. The first game is said to be held at Olympia, Greece in 776 B.C. and has been held every 4 years since = 1,168 years! Then, Greece came under the rule of the Roman Empire and the Olympic games were declined, to the point where they actually declined in 393 B.C. by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, who objected to what he felt were some "pagan rites" associated with the games. In the beginning, the Olympic games were confined to just one day and one event. That event was a footrace that was the length of the stadium. Soon, additional races were added as the popularity grew, as well as discus and javelin throws (tosses), broad jumps, boxing, wrestling, chariot racing and a pentathlon. The pentathlon was composed of 5 different track and field competitions.

The OFC is a member club of the United States Fencing Association (USFA), and our members compete in the USFA's Western New York Division, extending from Syracuse west to Buffalo, as well as the North Atlantic sectionals. History of Fencing 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. 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

Sorry, I still havn't got round to doing this. Meanwhile here's a short excerpt I adapted (or should that be stole) from my local club back home's website 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 duelling 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 duelling. 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.

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.

Indeed, the French small sword school forms the basis of most of modern fencing theory.

HISTORY E ver since the 16th Century, the fortress-town of Verona represented an important production centre for the supply of weapons to the Winged Lion armies of the "Serenissima" Republic of Venice. The development of a tradition in the Verona area for high quality, hand-crafted, weapons and related products has been attributed, with authority, to this period. W hite arms manufactured in the city of the Scaligeri were used in important military actions. Examples of valued pieces are still kept in Museums and private collections and provide precise historical references of a period having as main characters the skilful artisans and artists of Verona, at the forefront in respect of other prestigious school in Italy. T he Master manufacturer L. NEGRINI & SON, first established in 1897, was one of the first to give a fundamental contribution to the affirmation of chivalrous arms and of the "noble art" in Italy. T he company today, NEGRINI FENCING LINE, under the direction of Mrs. Anna Negrini and her two sons, Paolo and Michael, is an attentive interpreter of the increasing needs of the world markets, paying careful attention to style and quality in its production. Particular care is taken to guarantee the continuation of a prestigious tradition at the service of modern fencing.

It shows rarely seen aspects of sword fighting and its modern day descendant of fencing. I enjoyed the historical perspective (I expect the author is largely accurate since he studied original documents). Pedantry aside, I especially enjoyed the stories of modern high-level fencing: both the glorious and the down-and-dirty. Long time fencers will recognise familiar parts of their world, and non-fencers will get a chance to learn about the sport and the martial origins that make it special. ...I bought this book on impulse because I just kinda dig swords, samurai, duels, all that kind of thing. I can tell you that I LOVED this book, because it covers so many aspects of the blade. Dueling, wounds, Olympic competition, samurai, German "mensur" fighting etc etc. I don't give a HOOT if armor was 60pounds...

Pics History The University Fencing Club dates back to the academic year 1967/68 when a newly hired faculty member at Prince of Wales College (Charlottetown, P.E.I.) was encouraged by Athletic Director, Earl Nicholson, to found a club for the student body. Prof. Lothar Zimmermann had learned to love the sport during his student days at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. Arriving in Charlottetown, he wanted to continue to fence. To do that, he had to create opponents for himself by teaching others the sport of fencing. And he is still at it today, 35 years later! Upon the merger of Prince of Wales College and St. Dunstan's University, the PWC Fencing Club became the U.P.E.I. Fencing Club. Over the years, membership has grown and changed. And so have the facilities, the equipment, and the rules of the sport itself. The Club ‹ as the only fencing centre on the Island ‹ became the P.E.I. Fencing Association, and as such, was accepted within the national body, today's Canadian Fencing Federation. More by accident than by design, the Club accepted also members from outside the University community. "The Duellist" Since 1989, PEI fencers have their own annual illustrated news magazine which offers a review of the past season, including results and statistics, archival material, cartoons, information regarding upcoming events, or merely interesting reading material concerning the sport.
