Quotes of Interest:
"In essence the aim of sport fencing is to win, to compete, and most
importantly hit the other guy first. In historical fencing the prime aims
are not to be hit, to survive, to hit the other guy, effectively and not be
hit yourself.
Sport fencing has practices different from historical or martial fencing
because different techniques are effective at achieving its different goals."
Ian Macintyre from a posting on Sword
Forum International
" People talk a lot about speed, but not very much about control,
safety, tactics, and trying to get close to the reality of sharps. We're simulating
sharp fights - how fast one charges in depends on how quickly one would like
to die." Sean Hayes, Maestro d'armi, Northwest
