En Garde!
Fencing is
a first of it's kind and a tribute to all the people who have
contributed along the way! The En Garde! program has been based
on the Coaching Association of Canada's National Coaching Certification
Program and the Canadian Fencing Federation's Technical Coaching
Commission's implementation of the program at a time when Prof. Bob
Anderson was Technical Director of the CFA and Chairman of the Fencing
Academy of Canada, and "Poppa" Carl Schwende, Father of Canadian
Fencing, was the President of the CFA. During that administration, the
quality of fencing from all the Provinces right across Canada soared.
The En Garde!
program involves 2 areas of fencing education, viz: Orientation /
Class Instruction and Individual Lessons / Training for
competition. The Level 0 and 1 Instructor incorporates
mini-individual lessons into class instruction to teach students to
kinesthetically feel the sensations associated with quality performance.
The level 2
Coach then learns to teach these skills through a series of individual
lessons while gaining the practical experience required for
accreditation at that level. So now, from the very moment you pick up a
foil to learn how to fence, the athlete can start developing the same
skills that are associated with high level competition performance and
the Coach starts to learn how to teach and train for competition fencing
excellence.

Level 0-1 En Garde! Fencing Orientation and Class
Instruction
ISBN 0 9585680 2 2
En Garde! fencing orientation and class
instruction introduces the sport of fencing in a
non-competition, skill goal oriented way by focusing on the
feelings and sensations associated with the performance of the
fundamental sport-specific skills. And then by modifying rules
of the game we provide a natural growth and development ethos
that makes learning fun, while participants actually play a
variety of imaginative fencing games like : Star Wars (the
forces of good verses the forces of evil), Peter Pan and Capt.
Hook (bouting formats), and The Princess Bride (find the 6
fingered fencer). The
manual has been designed for primary school teachers and
orientation instructors.
Teaching fencing and learning how to fence has never been
easier, or more enjoyable! |
