~Fencing~ Fencing as a sport! I don't think many of you know what fencing is! Fencing is a sport which involves technique and quick movements. Fencing not only needs strength but needs skill and your brain. Equipment: -Mask -Foil (Sword thingy) (French or Pistol grip, doesn't matter) -A body cord -Mask cord -Limade (Gray electric vest) -Jacket -LONG SOCKS -CHEST PROTECTOR (So you won't DIE) -Pastron (Something you put over the chest protector for extra protection) -Appropriate shoes!!! Rules: 1. Keep your fencing position! Bent knees, foil in grip. 2. No hitting without a mask on!!! 3. Don't stand too close to other matches! (My friend once got hit right in the nose because someone accidentally hit her!!!) 4. Be a good sport!!! Don't be sad if you lose!!! 5. Don't make the opponent feel bad if they lose!!! Once I got beaten by a kid and he said, "You usually beat me, this time you were just so easy" (Yes! a kid actually said that to me!) 6. This is actually the most important: Always salute your opponent when you start fencing them and when the bout is done! Give a hand too! (Handshake, high five, or a fist bump.) If you don't do this then you'll get a black card! (A black card is the worst card you can get, it means you're not allowed to go to the next 2 competitions!!!
