Bill,

As far as I know the word "fencing" is derived from the word "defence".
The word "defence" itself is the British English (not the American English)
spelling of the word.

You maybe able to search for fencing clips by using the
Alta Vista search engine http://www.altavista.com/
The fencing.net web site also has a single clip in their download section.

Regards,
Sam
