The problem that most kids run into is a problem with control of their body. The coordination and cooperation of all parts of the body. Typically, the little head is only good enough to control one part, or hand, or foot. This is a challenge for parents and coaches, who must be patient enough and must have the right approach. Fencing is divided into three types of fencing: foil, epee, and sabre, and each type of fencing has roughly the same equipment, with only a few minor differences.
One, first of all, you need a set of match clothes, the match clothes of the three types of fencing are basically the same, a set of match clothes are divided into match pants, match undershirt and match top three pieces. There is also the face guard, it depends on what kind of sword you are choosing to practice, the face guard of the three kinds of sword is different, the heavy sword face guard is ordinary face guard, the foil face guard has a piece of metal mesh underneath the face guard, the saber face guard is all metal, in addition, you will need a fencing gloves and a training sword of the sword that you have chosen.
Two, the children just started usually choose foil, after a year or two you can choose again, depending on the circumstances to switch to heavy fencing, if you want to practice saber, you have to be a little older. Now it seems like there is a chance to choose saber when you get in. For most kids, it probably doesn't matter, the ones who last four or five years in the club, that's a minority. Parents who want to practice well and for a long time should choose foil. You can turn heavy and wear it for foil practice. Foil has the smallest effective part and requires the highest posture, so it is mostly used when laying the foundation. Those who practiced heavy fencing and sabre will have all the problems, such as blocking and other foul moves, which are hard to correct. The defense and retaliation of the three types of fencing are similar but still different, the same thing is that they must be done as if they were one action. These are two movements, defense and return fire, from the movement range, saber is the smallest, foil second, heavy sword is the largest, because the heavy sword does not have the initiative, stabbing on the score, so you have to defend the opponent's sword open, in order to stab, or else it's a waste of time, make a same as in the middle of the might as well be a direct counter-attack it, that is, this action is not well practiced. Foil and saber defense success, you get the initiative, and then stabbed on the score, even if the other side stabbed is also lost, because not afraid of being stabbed by the other side, so the amplitude of the smaller the better, known as: dip the sword on the go. High level are like this, beginners want to practice to this degree is very difficult. But part of the people can do very fast, which is successful.
