Classical Fencing

r/classicalfencing

This subreddit is designed to help individuals look into Classical fencing and to facilitate discussion between groups of Classical fencers who are separated by distance. Furthermore, the hope is to further enrich the Olympic and Classical styles by casting critical, scholarly eyes on both. This subreddit is currently under construction. If you have a question regarding Classical fencing please head over to the fine folks at /r/Fencing and mention Classical in the title.

What Is Classical Fencing?

The definition of Classical Fencing is not universal. It means different things to different people.

Here are some sites that examine Classical Fencing. The moderators at r/classicalfencing do not endorse any particular definition here in the sidebar but leave it to visitors and members to determine what it means to them. We have our own opinions and we'll talk about them if they come up in discussions.

The first place to look is, obviously, Wikipedia.

Next we turn to Rockwell Classical Fencing's definition.
