Welcome
to Fencing Online, your
internet access to a
myriad of information provided to the fencing community by Salle En Garde! Inc.
and the
Australian Academy of Fencing.
As
essential education, classical fencing was one of the earliest
renaissance pursuits which
encompassed correct manners, deportment, protocol and swordsmanship.
"... for it is my unshakeable belief that fencing should be a cardinal
part of any program of education; for I assert that the all-important
intangible moral qualities and virtues inherent in the spirit of
swordsmanship, unquestionably bring fencing into the field of
essential education." Aldo Nadi
This quote appeared at the beginning of the 20th century and remains
equally valid today.
The History of
the Fencing Profession
As Health,
Fitness or Recreation - well, what a better way to get
fit and have fun playing at sword fighting, Experiencing first
hand, the excitement of the duel while playing one of the safest
physical games around - now how cool is that?.
As an
Olympic sport, Fencing was one of the original sports of the modern
Olympic Games and up until Mark Spitz at the Munich Olympic Games of
1972 set the then longstanding record for the most gold medals won at an
Olympic Games it was held by a Fencer, Nedo Nadi who at the 1920 Games
who won a total of 5 gold medals at a time when there were only 6 events
to contest. Mark Spitz's record has now been smashed by the incredible
Michael Phelps at the Beijing Olympics.
And, as an Artistic
Performance,
well fencing does provide the basis of all the sword fighting you've
ever seen on Stage or Screen.
So, Get
Active ... for life, with Classical, Sport or Artistic Fencing!

Artistic Fencing Classes -
Just what is Artistic Fencing? Well, it's a fantastic way of
being creative with fencing, to perform in front of a live audience,
or for film and TV. Think of all the shows where artistic
fencing has been used to add excitement in a story: Musketeers to
Zorro to Pirates to Jedi Masters; and the list goes on!
All the fights are choreographed, which requires creativity, team
work, concentration, stamina, dedication to training and performance
and, some acting.....Exciting isn't it?!
Saturdays 11:30am-1:00pm.
The
cost is $150/term or $20/class.
