History of the Ancient Olympics Held in Olympia, Greece, every four years from somewhere around 776 B.C. they initially consisted of a one day, one event running race, covering the length of the stadium (about 190m). Over time, the event was extended to 5 days and comprised four running events (including one in armour), combat sports, a chariot race and a pentathlon (which consisted of long jump, javelin, discus, sprint and wrestling). Interestingly enough, some non-sporting events were also introduced, including a trumpeting contest. Competitors had to be free-born Greek males, who, from 750 B.C. competed in the nude (prior to that they wore shorts-like garments). Women and slaves were forbidden, under threat of death, to even attend the Olympic games, although it was possible for a woman to win an Olympic event - In the chariot race, the crown of wild olive leaves was awarded to the owner of the horses and not the drivers, hence Belistike (a woman) of Macedonia won the two-horse chariot race in 268 B.C. History of the Modern Olympics The modern Olympic Games history has been a turbulent one, disrupted by two world wars, boycotts and terrorist attacks.

63. Metro Tacoma Fencing Club, Blue Steel: A Brief History Of Fencing fencing, as an olympic sport, was first formally introduce in the early games at Thisis obviously due to their rich history and foundation in this sport. http://www.tacomafencing.com/Fhistory.htm

A brief history of Fencing The French philosopher Molire defines fencing as follows: Fencing is the art of giving cuts without receiving them. The necessity of touching the opponent but avoiding his cuts makes the art of fencing most difficult and complicated. The eyes observe and prevent, the brain which considers and decides, the hand which carries the decision through must harmonize accuracy and speed to give the necessary life to the sword. Musashi (1605-1675), the legendary Japanese swordsman and strategist defines fencing as follows: The sword is only a single instrument separate and alone. When wielded by a samurai, it becomes a living thing. The sword must become a natural extension of the samurai's heart, his spirit, his very being. The swordsman must wield the sword bravely and accurately so as to conquer his opponent without loss. Timing, accuracy, and harmony of actions are the essence of wielding the sword. As the rapiers and small swordcame into use, the tactics and strategies of swordsmanship evolved. Numerous books, treatise, and manuals were printed describing the art of sword combat. Widely divergent thoughts were presented as to the skills needed to properly and effectively use the blade. While many formal presentations of swordsmanship were devised, when two individuals faced each other in singular combat, theory often gave way to the seriousness of the situation. During the latter part of the 16th century and well into the 17th century, matters of honor were settled with sword duels which usually were fatal for one or both of the people involved. This was due largely to the lack of sanitary conditions and poor medical care as opposed to excellent swordsmanship.

The History of Fencing - A Slightly Skewed Perspective Part II - The Renaissance to Modern Times Benjamin Franklin invents the first electric foil and scoring box. It is rejected by fencers because of the necessity of a thunderstorm and of scoring a touch at the exact moment lightning strikes the lightning rod mounted on the scoring box. 1896 - The first Olympics. Foil and Saber become official Olympic sports. They beat out a suggested Olympic Sport called A Men beating each other with sticks (later renamed hockey and accepted at the Winter Olympics). 1900 - Epee becomes an official Olympic sport. Why? It takes an epeeist four years longer to do everything. 1914 - The French, in their red white and blue uniforms, waving their swords, charge and attack German machine gun emplacements. They are not successful. Germany wins the bout. This is why machine guns are not allowed in fencing matches anymore. 1919 - A gruesome accident involving two fencers, a Ford Model-T, two blind chickens, and a sheep are instrumental to the establishment of new safety and traffic laws. "Right of way" is clearly explained, both to the fencer and to the motorist. 1924 - Bowing to the winds of Progress, Women's Foil becomes an official Olympic sport. Close runner-ups that don't make it that year: 4-pint blood donor relay, synchronized chainsaw juggling, and Men Throwing Pointy Sticks (later renamed Javelin).

The class consists of twenty eighth-grade students with a variety of ablilities and learning styles. Students are selected for the class because they are either repeaters and/or students with attendance problems the preceding year. The class is designed around the following philsophy: high academic and behavioral standards + resources and attentive support = student success.(In this case, success is defined as "continuous improvement".) In order to add variety to the learning experience, a community volunteer comes in once a week for eight weeks and teaches fencing to these students. The fencing lessons are applied across the curriculum, using the olympics as the major focus. The unit culminates with a grand fencing olympiad in the auditorium. The following is an eight-week outline.

A Brief History of Fencing A Little History The history of fencing is as old as mankind. When a clever opponent blocked the swing of a club, fencing was born. The evolution of fencing from the club to electric foil took many centuries. The most important changes took place at the end of the Renaissance when armor became useless for combat and a new method of battle developed that did not need brute strength, steel shorts or can openers. The legendary rapier was born. The art of rapier dueling was, as are many new things, met with criticism. The English fencing masters of the time were particularly offended. They felt that using the rapier was unmanly and referred to it as "frog-pricking" while mourning the "death of the cut". However results are hard to argue with, and as those proficient in the use of the rapier racked up an impressive number of quite permanent victories, gentlemen flocked to the fencing schools to learn the deadly secrets of the point. The rapier became a beautiful weapon, lovingly handcrafted, sharp of point and comparatively lightweight (only three to five pounds), but the length, normally just a little shorter then the person holding it, made movements slow and clumsy. The great expense of making high quality and frequently quite fancy rapiers led to the next important development in fencing. When a rapier broke the owner had a choice - buy a new and very expensive rapier or have the broken blade repointed. Repointing made the blade shorter, but saved much money. Duelists made an interesting observation; those who used shorter repointed rapiers tended to win. The short weapon was easier to handle, better balanced and allowed strategy to enter the game. With the shorter rapier, called a short sword, it was possible to step past the opponent's far reaching point, so that only ineffective cuts could be delivered. The fencer's shorter blade could then be used to puncture the unfortunate and soon to be deceased opponent. "Long live the thrust."

The sport of Olympic fencing The sport of fencing is experiencing a nationwide revival. This effort comes on the heels of a recent attempt to ban the sport form Olympic competition. The sport has also suffered from an image problem of late. Many Americans have classified the sport as violent and elitist. Ironically, fencing was one of the original nine sports in the inaugural modern Olympic Games played in Athens, Greece in 1896. It is one of only four sports that has been featured at every single Olympic competition since 1896. bodyOffer(25185) The reputation as a violent elitist sport has foiled fencers, who deem the sport a game of physical chess, a tactical masterpiece of grace and prowess that harkens own back through the annals of history, where the sport originated in ancient Egypt to where it reached its heyday in Elizabethan England. Fencing advocates also argue that fencing equipment is less expensive than hockey or football gear, and is less violent than both of the aforementioned sports. The sport of fencing incorporates agility, strength, coordination, balance, timing, and strength. In fencing, physical ability is just as important is having a strong mental edge.

Pics History The University Fencing Club dates back to the academic year 1967/68 when a newly hired faculty member at Prince of Wales College (Charlottetown, P.E.I.) was encouraged by Athletic Director, Earl Nicholson, to found a club for the student body. Prof. Lothar Zimmermann had learned to love the sport during his student days at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. Arriving in Charlottetown, he wanted to continue to fence. To do that, he had to create opponents for himself by teaching others the sport of fencing. And he is still at it today, 35 years later! Upon the merger of Prince of Wales College and St. Dunstan's University, the PWC Fencing Club became the U.P.E.I. Fencing Club. Over the years, membership has grown and changed. And so have the facilities, the equipment, and the rules of the sport itself. The Club ‹ as the only fencing centre on the Island ‹ became the P.E.I. Fencing Association, and as such, was accepted within the national body, today's Canadian Fencing Federation. More by accident than by design, the Club accepted also members from outside the University community. "The Duellist" Since 1989, PEI fencers have their own annual illustrated news magazine which offers a review of the past season, including results and statistics, archival material, cartoons, information regarding upcoming events, or merely interesting reading material concerning the sport.

Kallipateria was the first female Olympic boxing coach in 440 BC. The first female Olympic champion was a Spartan princess called Kynisca, in 392 BC. She was also the first woman to become a champion horse trainer when her horses and chariot competed and won in the Ancient Olympic Games.

Please see Statistics for more information. two Olympic sports in 1900 - tennis and golf. Sports historians now accept that women were involved in the yachting. Old programmes of the Paris Exposition show that women also participated in ballooning, croquet, equestrianism, golf, tennis and yachting. Bearing this in mind, we take the view that all women who took part in these sports were Olympians.

The Academy of Arms l’Académie d’Armes Australian Academy of Fencing Shop Fentec Swashbucklers' About the Academy ... Home The History of the Fencing Profession Henry the 8th granted Letters Patent to the London Masters of Defense, giving them a virtual monopoly on the teaching of fencing. The Master-of-Armes had developed a special place in society. He could teach his art and was regarded as an authority in matters of honour. Fencing at this time encompassed not only the scientific principles in the use of the sword but also the essential qualities of a gentleman's' education. The Master-of-Armes was one of the original educators to the aristocratic class, he had become a teacher of physical exercise, good manners and gentlemanly etiquette. All considered essential qualities of a good education. The profession progressively grew reaching a peak somewhere between the end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries. The fact that fencing was around, practiced at all the exclusive universities and popular at the start of a changing attitude towards sport, made it an obvious inclusion in World Events, Expositions and Games of the time. Fencing is one of the original Olympic sports, and continues this uninterrupted tradition into the start of the 21st century with the Sydney 2000 Olympics. "...... it is my unshakeable belief that fencing should be a cardinal part of any program of education; for I assert that the all-important intangible moral qualities and virtues inherent in the spirit of swordsmanship, unquestionably bring the sport into the field of essential education."

Athens for Olympic Games of 2004 Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek calendar was based on the Olympiad, the four-year period between games. The games were staged in the wooded valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus, supreme among the gods. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias, it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The Eleans traced the founding of the Olympic games to their King Iphitos, who was told by the Delphi Oracle to plant the olive tree from which the victors' wreaths were made. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was a 200-yard dash, called a stadium. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadia race was added. Two years later the 24-stadia event began, and in 708 the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the games. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and hurling the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race, and other events were included.
