Fencing.Net - Your Guide to Fencing & Fencing Equipment

***Craig*** · 10-01-2008, 12:55 PM

Your Kids, Their Swords, and Surviving it all with your Sanity Intact.

This 25 page ebook covers everything you need to know to get your children into one of the oldest and safest Olympic sports. This ebook is 25 pages of no-fluff information highlighted by great photographs of fencing provided by FencingPhotos.com.

Although I'm not charging any money for it, I still want something from you. I want you to join our community, read the book, and spread the word. If you like the book, then tell people about it. That's the catch.

Why am I doing this? Because there are lots of parents who need it, and I can afford the time to work on it. I want to bring together a community of like-minded people, who want to make fencing a great experience for themselves and their kids. I like to share with others, and help them succeed.

(The Parent's Guide to Fencing is distributed as a PDF, and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 or newer)

Do you have a fencing site? You're welcome to distribute the PDF on your site as long as you do not alter any of the PDF and you give credit to Fencing.Net.

Excellent! One of my professors was asking me questions (her son is starting to fence) and this is perfect. Thank you so much.

Craig -

I've noticed an inaccuracy. It says: "Going off the side of the strip with one foot halts the fencing action. Going off the side with both feet gets a penalty of the loss of one meter." But these days, at least, going off the side with only one foot also receives the distance penalty.
