Reporting from the Australian Academy of Fencing  

1.    Since 2010 Australian Academy of Fencing has been collaborating with New Zealand Fencing Masters Since 2010 towards amalgamation to become the Australasian Academy of Fencing.  Initial discussion took place at the Coaches Conference and the proposal was submitted to the AAI for consideration during 2011.  The AAI have since advised that they are not going to oppose the proposal and to forward it as a motion for the 2012 Congress.

 2.    In anticipation of the formation of the Australasian Academy of Fencing, a new Diploma, reflecting this amalgamation has been designed and is currently with the printers awaiting final confirmation from the AAI.

3.    The Australian Academy of Fencing Constitution is currently being revised and updated to include all details of becoming the Australasian Academy of fencing.  It is currently under consideration to maintain the Australian Academy of Fencing as the National Vocational Education and Training Service Provider for the lower levels of accreditation of the NCAP (levels 1-3) in Australia and reserve the higher levels of accreditation (level 4 Prevost  and level 5 Maitre) for examination and accreditation by the Australasian Academy of Fencing.

4.    As a legacy of the 2010 Fencing Forum - Coaches Conference and Fencers' Camp it has been proposed to establish the Forum as an annual event.  The Forum would provide the opportunity for annual updating of coaching accreditation. It would be initially hosted in other-than-queensland Australian States with the view of eventually crossing the Tasman to include New Zealand.

5.    The Australian Academy of Fencing will soon be communicating directly to Members via our new format En Garde! Newsletter. Currently a mailing list of all Instructors and Coaches previously taught through the Academy is being collated.

6.    The Australian Academy of Fencing embroidered logos (choice of 2) along with a variety of brand-name clothing is now available through www.northsideembroidery.com.au  Members can choose to have the AAF Logo on any garment that is either black, white, grey or any combination there-of. Ordering details are available in the En Garde! Newsletter.

 

 

AAI                                           Académie d'Armes Internationale

A resolution was passed to allow Academies with only Escrime Artistic members to be admitted to the AAI.

It was resolved to amend the Statutes to allow Academy representatives who were competent in one discipline only (i.e. Classical or Artistic) would only be permitted to vote on motions relating to their specific area of competence.

A motion was passed to allow single weapon Masters.  The title for Masters of three weapons was to historically remain as Maitre d'Armes while single weapon Masters will be Maitre d'Arme Fleuret / Epee / Sabre.

A proposal by the President to allow Prevots and Moniteurs to become members of the AAI was approved on condition that only Masters could represent Academies at Congress.

Official AAI T-shirts with the AAI flag and title of Maitre d'Armes inscribed (or other title as appropriate) were now available in light blue or navy blue at a price of 12 euro each, plus shipping.  Order in sizes Medium, Large, or Extra Large.        Contact: Maitre Gary Worsfield 0419773317 or gary@fencingonline.com to place your orders.
