How to Score a Touch in Competitive Fencing

Hi! I'm Mike Elder, the head coach and General Manager of the Miami Fencing Club; that's www.miamifencingclub.com. We meet weekday evenings in South Miami and on Saturday afternoons at Miami Day College. This provides an excellent low impact aerobic workout for athletes aged 8 to 80. My partner Harry and I are going to show you some competitive foil fencing, that's what you call this kind of weapon, and we are going to show you a simple attack. The idea is that Harry is going to attack me. He is going to try to stay as far away as he possibly he can, yet still score a touch. He has to hit me like this with the tip of the foil. He can't slap me with the side of the blade.
