Nice Article from the BBC on Tunisian Foilist determination: Link

 

Australian Company ‘EnPointe’ Wireless System.

Australia has a small (compared to world wide Fencing powerhouses) but dedicated Fencing Community.

Emerging out of Melbourne “EnPointe” has created and Manufactured an alternative to ground wired and expensive European Scoring Boxes.

Wireless will eventually overtake traditional ground or wired systems, and in a world where light weight, tech savvy systems are easy to use and require a small storage area, Fencing Clubs will be gravitating towards EnPointe Wireless Systems, that are Revolutionary-Practical-Affordable.

Nice little video articles from the FIE Magazine on all three weapons

Foil

Epee

Another great idea as a dummy, with adjustable blade height, and target zones.

Here’s a few other ideas for target practice.

 

Using a ladder is a good “back” for the dummy and allows manoeuvrability, indoors a coatrack is handy too.

 

Can use different ideas and works for alternate target practice too ie Epee.

David Dummy

 

Having had a go at making a dummy, heres a few ideas for creating your own target setup at home.

Foil Stand for adjusting weapon height and position etc.

Jacket Stand, with a coathanger for the jackets and stuffed with pillows for bulking up

.

Finished Target, with Bungy Cord wrapped around post for stability.

 

In action.

 

Here’s a great idea for those in isolated situations still wanting training ideas.. Courtesy of Ben Peggs Instagram..

Lockdown in London has been challenging. However, a mark of an athlete is their ability to adapt and overcome obstacles placed in from of them. Thankfully the weather has been kind to me and I’ve managed to find a way to keep my technical training on point. Meet my new training partner – aka ‘Shadow’, for the next few weeks ? Luckily he doesn’t fight back! ? If you want to build your own, you’ll need a few pillows, two towels, an old laundry stand, and a few bungees. The fencing kit part can be found @leonpaullondon ? @britishfencing does this look like a new training tool that could be used for the Athlete Development Programme? ?? #quarantinetraining #lockdown #technicaltraining #adaptandovercome #challengeyourself #balconyantics #sunshine #london #fencing #neighborhoodfencer #stayhome #staysafe #aspirationfund #fencinginspires #nationallottery @uk_sport
