Everything you need to know About fencing

As a new fencer, your first fencing competition may be a chunk overwhelming. It is continually a beehive of pastime. Other fencers will help however are frequently very busy getting themselves prepared. A little bit of pre-understanding approximately in which to go and what to pay attention for will pass an extended manner in the direction of making your first fencing competition a success.

 

Being nervous is regular for a primary time competitor. Finding your self a person who has enjoy competing could be very useful. They can point out what to do, and wherein you want to report to. The hassle as expressed before, is that the experienced fencers are normally pretty busy themselves.

Make positive that you display up early for the opposition. There is typically a agenda this is published to your fencing agency's website or every now and then at your fencing membership. The times listed at the schedule are whilst registration closes. You need to display up at the least half of an hour earlier than the indexed time so you have a vast amount of guidance available to you. Normally the fencing classes will begin approximately a 1/2 an hour after registration closes for that event however this can be a transferring target based on the opposition and its hosts.

When you get to the venue, the primary thing which you should do is go to registration. The title "registration" can be confusing, as the first time I become instructed to visit registration, I said that I had already registered and paid for the opposition. I observed out later that registration is virtually just a test-in station. The attendants may be in a position to help you with the system. Depending for your jurisdiction, you can require some shape of identification to sign in.

Next locate a place to put your fencing bag in order that it's miles without problems handy and recognizable as there will likely be many others with similar luggage to yours. They'll be randomly positioned (thrown) in a completely disorganized and smelly college of fencing luggage and device. Consider attaching a few shape of call tag or ribbon on your bag for ease of recognition. Labeling your system is also endorsed.

 

Now, take your mask to the Armory. You can also need to get your wires and lames checked. Observing others within the Armory line should give you a hint as to what have to be checked. Once you're there, the armorer will take a look at your mask in an expansion of methods. If it passes you will acquire a stamp on the mask's bib this is to be proven on your choose when you are referred to as to fence.

A final tip, keep away from shopping for your fencing device at a competition. Whether you're a novice, Olympian, educate, or armorer, you will locate the entirety you may want at for an awful lot less.
