YMCA Fencing Studio Rules |
- Respect the weapons. When carrying your weapon, be aware of the point of
your weapon so that you do not cause injury to another person.
- Respect the instructor or fencing master.
- Remember that fencing is a sport with
traditions that should be
honored and respected.
- Always be courteous, polite, and well-mannered at the club.
- Welcome all newcomers warmly. They are the future lifeblood of the club.
- Do not wear black-soled shoes to fence in, as they mar the floor.
- Always salute your opponent/partner before putting on your mask and before
beginning to spar or bout.
- Always salute and shake ungloved hands with your opponent/partner at the conclusion of
your sparring or bouting.
- If, during a bout or sparring session, you disarm your opponent/partner, you
must immediately and courteously retrieve his weapon.
- Recreational fencing is a co-ed sport. Sexual harassment is not part of
either sportsmanship or courtesy. Sexual harassment is grounds for
disciplinary action by the club and should be reported immediately.
- The complete fencing outfit (mask, jacket, and glove) must be worn while
fencing or taking lessons. Legs must be covered to below the knee (at least)
by knickers, sweat-pants, or tights. Under no circumstances will shorts be
tolerated.
- The fencing outfit should be kept clean and in proper order.
- Do not take any of the club's equipment from the club without the consent of
the instructor.
- Do not borrow others’ equipment without the owner's consent.
- Any equipment of the club's which is damaged by a member will be replaced or
repaired at that same member’s expense.
- Respect and take care of the club's property and the facility we use.
- Do not take yourself too seriously. Fencing is a sport, after all.
- No one should be ignorant of the rules of the club.
