Step 1
Find a teacher. At the moment there are several places that teach this sport. You can contact a private tutor. The charge charged for an hour of training ranges from 1000 rubles, but, most likely, you will need to take care of a training room. There is another way out - courses. Courses are a good way to practice in a group with beginners like you. This will give you the incentive and desire to beat your opponent in sparring. By the way, the sword is not the only weapon that can be mastered. There is also a saber, a rapier, katanas, knives, swords. With the latter, you can feel like a medieval knight. If you want a specific tool, then ask if it is taught to use it.
Step 2
Learn the rules. Without knowing the rules, you will not even understand which of the rivals won. And safety precautions will not hurt. Despite the equipment, you need to be careful, because the tools are not toy.
Step 3
Get the right gear. For safe training, the equipment must be approved by the International Fencing Federation. The equipment includes a mask (approximate cost from 2000 to 9000 thousand rubles), a fencing jacket (900-9000 rubles), a fencing shoe, footwear. The uniform also includes gloves, the tool itself, a cover for it, and special bandages for women and men. There are also electric jackets and gloves. In the process of a duel on such equipment, when the sword touches the jacket, the signal of a blow is immediately given from the jacket. This makes the fight interactive and you can see who won immediately.
Step 4
Learn the technique of fencing. But you will master it already during the lessons. It includes a fighting stance, steps forward and backward and lunges, as well as the ability to hold a weapon. How exactly each action is carried out depends on the weapon, because what is good for a sword is hardly suitable for swords.
