Related QuestionsWhat is Historical Fencing?
Whitman College Fencing - FAQThe current authority on what is commonly referenced as Historical Fencing is probably the AHFI.

However, the main focus tends to be on the 16th-18th centuries, since the majority of available primary sources are from that period.
Related QuestionsWhat is Sport Fencing?
Whitman College Fencing - FAQThe term "Sport Fencing" is usually interchangeable with the terms "Modern Fencing" and "Olympic Fencing." At Whitman we consider it to reference the styles of mainstream, competitive fencing after about 1940. It is extremely different from Classical Fencing, both in techniques and mentalities. One primary difference in mentality is that the purpose of Sport Fencing is usually to compete, whereas neither Classical or Historical fencers consider competition a major focus.

Related QuestionsWhat sort of clothing should I wear for fencing?
Whitman College Fencing - FAQDurable and comfortable. Your clothing needs to allow you complete freedom of movement, but also offer some protection from a stray blade. Since jackets are worn, t-shirts or similar are fine for the top. Jeans are not recommended, though some people seem to use them without difficulty. Sweat pants or similar sports pants work fine, and the club also has fencing knickers for anyone who desires to use them. The only other serious clothing consideration is footwear.
Related QuestionsIs fencing hard on the joints?
Whitman College Fencing - FAQSome fencers complain of joint trouble, but this is usually only after decades of fencing (when using classical form; I believe sport fencers often have problems much sooner). The only real problem area is the knees, and this can be avoided by using proper form in the lunge. However, it is generally not recommended to be a serious runner and a serious fencer at the same time.
Related QuestionsWhy are fencing outfits all white?
Whitman College Fencing - FAQWell, first of all, in fact not all fencing outfits are white. Traditionally, Maestros (fencing masters) wear black jackets and pants, and Provosts (would-be masters in their final stage of training) wear black pants, but white jackets. In sport fencing the dress-code is changing along with the techniques and mentalities, and they now allow jackets to have sleeves of different colors, and I believe I have also seen an assortment of different color masks.
