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
you browse though our site you will soon discover the fascination of fencing.
As an essential education, classical fencing instruction was one of the earliest 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 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
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.
As a
health and fitness 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?.
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 & Artistic Fencing!

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;30-12:30am.
The
cost is $20/class or $150/term.

Tunisian fencer Besbas Azzah refused to face her Israeli
counterpart Naomi Mills at the World Fencing Championships,
citing her support for the Palestinian case. The
sports website Koora said Azzah, the African champion and 2008
Olympic semi-finalist, would give up on her dream to win the
gold medal by withdrawing from the final. She reportedly came up
to the piste and did not defend herself, suffering five hits
from Mills, who was declared the champion. Mills then collapsed
in tears, according to Koora.
