Battle on the Bayou IV Who Is Coming? :: FRED: Fencing Tournaments

If you've been reffing sabre & don't know about badgermille, you're missing out.

Badgermille Saber referees are intensely judged on their ability to distinguish tempo-based actions in the middle of the strip. "Inside the box", or between the on guard lines, is particularly contentious among fencers, coaches and referees. However, there are a few broad categories of these actions you'll see…

from our founder Tim Morehouse!

My name is Holly Buechel and I’ve been fencing epee for 15 years. I started fencing at my high school in New Jersey and progressed in the sport as one of the 2012 Olympic alternates. I’m still fencing today and earned a Masters in film and editing. You might have seen my short, Speed of Fencing, which has won several awards and inspired both new and experienced fencers. I’ve been working on my first feature documentary for almost three years since and am excited to tell you more about Fencing For The Edge.
Fencing For The Edge is a competitive sports documentary that follows four teams through the 2013-14 season in the New Jersey high school fencing league. Not many states have such a densely populated fencing area, so I wanted to show an exciting season with varying teams, compelling characters, and the life lessons you can learn in the sport. We have also followed Tim Morehouse's Fencing In The Schools program from the first months of equipment development to it's 8th state launch. We've filmed over 400 hours of footage across 10 states and are preparing to edit the film into a 90-minute feature length film. Editing can take many months and even years if only one person is working on it in their spare time. To reach our goal of releasing the film during the 2016 Olympics, we need additional support and funding for post-production.
A couple weeks ago, I launched my IndieGoGo fundraising campaign to raise money for the editing stage of the film. I have partnered with Women Make Movies, a 501(c)3 non-profit arts organization that promotes women film makers and stories. Through this partnership, the donations to our crowd-sourcing campaign are tax-deductible. We are also offering amazing perks that include downloads of the completed film, video messages from our US Fencing National Team members, and a screening ticket to the work-in-progress film at the 2015 Summer Nationals.
I am reaching out to your division in hopes that I can raise the money to edit the film from within the fencing community. The film will help generate enthusiasm for the sport and increase membership in all of the divisions, not just New Jersey. With the support of your members, we can finish the film as a community and help share the sport we love with the rest of the country. I would really appreciate sharing our campaign with words of your own or using the attached images and links.
Please join my IndieGoGo campaign and donate before April 9th!
Thank you,
Holly Buechel

Who likes fencing?

When the Corpus Christi Catholic Home for retired priest and nuns in Melbourne, Australia offered fencing for it's residents they didn't know what to expect. Turns out they all loved it. Sister Dolores Kirby, 93, said "It builds your confidence to be able to stand and defend yourself."

That's Benedict Cumberbatch with a sabre. Your argument is invalid. Try Fencing. We Dare You Not To Love It. http://aafa.me/14RmVhu http://aafa.me/1fAYbS5

Can I master fencing, the sport for vicious brainiacs? I stepped toward my opponent, aimed my sword at her heart, and lunged, causing to pour forth from deep in her chest a stream of giggles. She blocked my attack with a lateral parry quarte, and I tried to riposte to her high inside line. My riposte missed its mark,...
