Most of the questions and answers pertain to FIE (Olympic) Fencing;
Japanese fencing (kendo, kenjustsu, iaido, etc.) is treated in a
separate FAQ list ("Japanese Sword Arts") that can occasionally be
found in the newsgroups rec.sport.fencing or rec.martial-arts, or on
the IAIDO-L mailing list (see section 3.8 for details). The Japanese
Sword Arts FAQ is maintained by Neil Gendzwill (gendzwill@SEDSystems.ca).
The Fencing FAQ is presented in three parts:
- GENERAL: common questions about starting fencing, training, and rules of competition.
- EQUIPMENT: fencing equipment, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
- REFERENCE: organizations, suppliers, reading materials, net resources, glossary, etc.
