On fencing culture
Fencing is a sport with high IQ, which originated in medieval Europe. It was very popular among knights in Spain, France and Italy in the14th century, and then gradually developed into a noble sport. In medieval Europe, fencing was a compulsory course for knights. At that time, fencing was closely related to the honor of knights. Because it is a gentry and aristocratic movement, in addition to skills, the requirements for etiquette are even more sloppy.
Formal fencing etiquette. hello
1. Wear fencing shoes or badminton shoes. In training, the common phenomenon is that the soles worn by students are too high and too thick, and the soles are not soft; The edge of the shoe is not smooth and angular, or the edge of the shoe is perpendicular to the ground.
Fencing suit is a white three-piece suit: coat, trousers and protective vest. Fencing socks are white stockings. Fencers must wear pants and stockings to protect themselves when practicing alone without opponents. When fencing in pairs, you must wear all fencing equipment, including shields.
It is necessary to salute before actual combat. When the opponent is not a coach, put on fencing clothes, hold a shield in your left hand and a sword in your right hand, and raise the sword with your opponent at the same time to salute him.
4. When saluting, the right hand holds the sword, the left hand holds the shield waist high, and the sword points to the sky.
If the opponent is a coach, you should take the initiative to prepare protective gear for the coach, wear protective gear when necessary, and then stand opposite the coach and salute. When the coach returned the gift, the fencer returned to the ready posture and prepared for actual combat.
6. When practicing alone, for whatever reason, don't point your sword at anyone around you, especially those who don't wear protective gear.
7. After the practice, you should return to your original position, take off your shield, salute both sides, wait for the referee (or the coach to read out the practice results), and then shake hands. However, in actual training, after the game, many students directly wear shields to shake hands with each other, and the way of shaking hands is extremely perfunctory.
8. Etiquette in fencing is not only respect for people, but also respect for venues and equipment. In the competition, the sword is not allowed to touch the kendo, cut, stab or split the kendo, and it is not allowed to step on the kendo with your feet when the sword is deformed. The most common situation is that when students listen to the coach's explanation, they unconsciously poke the sword on the kendo surface, or drag the sword on the ground during walking, resulting in damage to the kendo and sword.
Have you ever done these rude behaviors?
Does it feel very foreign to poke the sword everywhere on the ground? To know that the sword is a fencer's closest partner, this behavior is very disrespectful to the sword and himself.
When saluting the opponent before the game, the sword should point to the sky and the shield must be removed. When saluting, you should not only wear a shield, but also point your sword directly at each other. How much hatred do you have for each other?
At the end of the competition, it is the embodiment of fencing spirit to take off the shield and salute and shake hands with each other. Don't be a handsome guy to salute and shake hands with you seriously, you are too perfunctory!
You can't step on a sword in kendo, which is the most basic etiquette.
Cloth shoes are used for concave modeling, not for sports. Fencing should choose shoes with smooth edges and not perpendicular to the ground.
Never point your sword at others. This is not only for security reasons, but also to show respect for others.
