By way of Fencing gear and equipment that one would wear, you would have to have:
The US hometown fencing hopeful for the 2008 Olympics was Mariel Zagunis for the Women's Sabre competition. She ended up getting first.
A fancy dress competition is similar to a pageant. Children dress up and show a talent of some sort. Dialogue for a Barbie doll costume could include things about little girls playing with them and how they like to dress up and put makeup on.
To train for fencing, what you need to do is find the nearest fencing club to you and have a try out session. if you enjoy it stay with the club and train with the club until you want to try some of the different weapons that are included in fencing. They are Foil, Epeé and Sabre.
Having a child in a fancy dress competition can be an enjoying experience. They can dress up as a police officer and speak about topics such as safety concerns in schools, bullying, or bike safety.
The target area depends on the weapon that you are using. If you are fencing Epee, the target area is your opponent's entire body. If you are fencing Saber, the target area is your opponent's body from the waist up. If you are fencing the third and final weapon, Foil, the target area is simply your opponent's torso. This excludes their legs, arms, and head, limiting it to the chest and stomach region.
Look it up on the competitions website. Look at pictures and see if they are wearing costumes.
if you mean swords alot there are three swords of moddern fencing. FOIL SABRE EPEE Foil is a stabbing weapon that the target is the torso it was used as a training weapon for epee in the 18 hundreds. Sabre is a cuting weapon that the target is the waist up. it is the only cutting weapon in fencing today Sabre is faster weapon than foil and epee and is more attacking than defending. Epee is a stabbing weapon that the target is all of the body.epee has no right of way so who ever hits first gets the point.
Firstly fencing isn't 'played', it's, well, fenced. It's more a verb in it's own right! Fencing is done with two opponents facing one another on a 'piste' or 'strip', hooked up to a box by electrical wire. The box will light and make a sound when a hit is touched. This is individual competition. In Team competition, there are 3 members often with one reserve per team and they all fence each other to five hits once. This amounts to a 'first to 45' system.
"I may be small, but my light shines bright. In my fancy dress, I light up the night. With flames so steady and true, I bring warmth and light to all of you."
Shut up....iron is an aluminum foil
