1.1 Epee armour
It is composed of a metal protective net and a neck guard. Considering the comfort, a sponge is padded inside, and a fixed safety device is installed at the back of the mask. The metal mesh of the mask can withstand 12 kilograms, and the neck protector can withstand 350 Newtons of penetration force. According to the regulations of the international sword Federation, in high-level competitions (World Championships, etc.), a visor that can withstand 25 kilograms and withstand 1600 Newton penetration force must be used.
1.2 gloves

1.7 stockings
The stockings must completely cover the calves until they are covered by the trouser legs, and cannot slide down during the game.
1.8 fencing shoes
Due to the influence of the sports form, the Fencers’ feet stand in an L-shape, so the movement mode of the two feet is different from the stress parts, and most of them change direction and move during the confrontation. Therefore, in terms of technology, the Fencers’ shoes reinforce the inner side of the sole and heel, make the sole more wear-resistant, and make the heel smooth according to the movement mode.

The wire used to connect the electric sword and the referee is hidden in the protective suit and extends from the armhole of the swordsman to his back. One end is inserted into the socket of the electric sword, and the other end is used to connect the referee interface.
2. What is fencing
Fencing is a sport developed from the duel of ancient swordsmanship. It combines elegant movements and flexible tactics, requires high concentration of athletes’ spirit and good coordination of their bodies, and reflects good movements and agile reactions of athletes.
There are three kinds of swords in fencing: Epee, foil and sabre. Different swords have different shapes, and the rules of competition and scoring methods are also different.
3. What are the advantages of practicing fencing
Fencing can exercise your reaction ability. In the process of fighting, both sides need to constantly observe and think, and react quickly within the range of confrontation and within a limited time, so as to form a brand-new thinking mode, which can promote the rapid adaptability of trainers, especially for the good development of the minds, intelligence and bodies of teenagers.
Fencing can also play the role of self-defense. Habits formed through long-term exercise: in the face of crisis, be calm, calm, pay attention to observation, and quickly judge each other’s motivation and the possibility of next action.
Fencing can make the body lines more beautiful. Because the basic action of fencing needs to open the wide hip joint, so that the muscles in the inner thigh can be fully exercised.
How much time does a child have to practice fencing
If children can practice fencing at the age of 7 or 8, when the learning pressure increases in the future, those who have mastered a certain foundation and can enjoy fencing themselves will definitely be a great way for students to reduce pressure — high concentration and confrontation. After a competition with a small partner, the relaxation of nerves and bodies will be very rich in spiritual supplies and exercises, especially when they successfully hit the target, It’s no less than playing video games, but it’s much better than playing games, you know!
It is helpful for the development of intelligence, because it can establish a good comprehensive display of right brain functions such as spatial perception, experience and type recognition in the process of practice, and improve thinking in images and creativity.
What should you pay attention to when practicing fencing
1. Do not play during training
Children are naturally playful, not to mention that in fencing training classes, it is more likely to push children and fight with swords, which are very dangerous. Although the tip of the sword used in fencing has been improved for a long time, children often can’t control the strength and direction, and it is easy to stab others. Therefore, such behaviors as playing and fighting need to be strictly controlled.
2. Don’t drink water or ice water after training
After intense exercise, all organs of the body are still in motion, and will not immediately return to a calm state with the end of your exercise. At this time, drinking a lot of water, especially ice water, is very easy to cause organ damage due to stimulation.
3. Do not squat, sit or lie down immediately after exercise
If you sit down and rest immediately after the end of strenuous exercise, a large amount of venous blood in the limbs will accumulate in the veins, the heart will be ischemic, and the brain will lack oxygen due to insufficient blood supply, resulting in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shock and other symptoms.
