[CFML] Two questions

First please excuse the cross posts. I sent this to three groups.

Question !. What is the origin of the word "fencing"?

Question 2. It is so hard to find fencing clips on the net. There are plenty of CDs and DVDs to buy. I want to add some clips, avi, mpeg, etc to my site but I can' t find any. Does anybody here know some URLs that have clips to play. I would greatly appreciate some.

Thanks,
Bill Pirkle

It's from the word "defence." See http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wew/fencing.html
for more details.

It's one thing to find video clips of fencing on the Internet; it's another
thing to find video clips that you're allowed to redistribute. That said,
try http://www.fencingfootage.com.
