Fencing

The best fencing weapon would usually be the sword.

especially big in Russia, France, Italy, Hungary and Germany

"En garde!" or "Touché!"

It depends what competition you compete in. If it is divisional up to nationals, you get a medal, maybe a little souvenir for the really big competitions. If it is the Olympics, your country will give you money. If it is world championships, I am pretty sure it is still the same. No trophies like soccer.

if you mean swords alot

there are three swords of moddern fencing.

FOIL

SABRE

EPEE

Foil is a stabbing weapon that the target is the torso it was used as a training weapon for epee in the 18 hundreds.

Sabre is a cuting weapon that the target is the waist up. it is the only cutting weapon in fencing today Sabre is faster weapon than foil and epee and is more attacking than defending.

Epee is a stabbing weapon that the target is all of the body.epee has no right of way so who ever hits first gets the point.

It's just called "Fencing jacket"

an acre is 208.7 feet by 208.7 feet. pick your fence type, find out your cost per foot, and multiply by 834.84

A mask. The lower part is called a bib.

Well, I have been collecting for about 10 years now and I can tell you right now that anything you'll ever find at a fair or oddities shop is nothing more than a nice piece of shiny to look at. Anything using the word "stainless" Is also right out. What you want is high carbon steel. Something that will bend and flex and be able to snap right back to it's original form. I suggest checking out swordbuyersguide.com, they can provide all the info. You need and provide prices as well. I suggest windlass or Darksword for historical European pieces, for Katana Hanwei seems to have The most quality.

Your average non-electric jacket will cost about $75, while a glove will be about $7.50. A non-electric mask will come to about $50-60, and a sword can be anywhere from $40-70

It depends mostly on the weapon. Also there are many types of parries that are possible and there are many different directions that you can parry. But the most common is the opposition parry. In epee a 4 opposition is done by moving your fencing hand across and up of your body so that by the time you finish your hand should be at shoulder level on the opposite side of your body.

An Epee is one of the three types of swords used in the sport of fencing. When using an Epee, you must stab your opponent, and you are not limited by target area, as the whole body is game. The other two types of blade are Sabers and Foils.

One does not actually use a knife in the sport of fencing, just swords that are not sharp and have the tips rounded off. while these blades can be dangerous, (especially if broken) they are much less dangerous than if they were sharp.

In the sport of fencing, you have to move fairly fast, no matter what type of weapon you are using. In Epee, you move the least, but you still must be very quick, especially with the sword hand. In Foil, you must be moving quickly as well, and be quick on your feet, as there are actual attacks in this weapon, unlike Epee. In Sabre, you must be quicker than you would be in either of the other weapons. Sabre is undisputedly the fastest-moving weapon of them all. You must be quick on your feet, with your blade, and be prepared to be moving a lot very quickly. Here is a saying that can sum up much of this: "Fencing is like chess at the speed of boxing." -Coach Kelly Willams, KCFC. A fact that can sum this up as well: The fastest moving object in sports is the marksman's bullet. The second fastest is the tip of the fencer's blade.

The three main weapons in fencing are:

1. SABER

Saber involves wearing an electric vest that extends from the neck to the wrists to the waist. All of this area is target. Saber has a large handle, and fencing saber involves slashing at the opponent on the target area, unlike the other two weapons which involve stabbing.

2. FOIL

Foilists wear an electric vest without sleeves. All of this is target area. Foil has a small rounded handle. Fencing foil involves stabbing at the opponent on the target area.

3. EPÉE (EH-pay)

Epeeists do not wear an electric vest, as the whole body is target, including the feet. Epées have a large handle. Epée fencers stab at the opponent anywhere on the body in order to get touches.

All three weapons are the same length, and alike in most ways apart from the ones mentioned above.

Your guard is the piece of metal that is placed at the bottom of your blade, just above your grip. It is the most useful element of your sword when it comes to parrying your opponent.

Fencing originated off of acutal sword fighting. It was at first used to practice dueling, but people realized that they could make a sport of it. It was popular in Ancient Egypt, and with the Greeks and Romans.

The fencing we know today though, started in Spain around the 15th century.

There is no maximum age for competition in the Olympics. The oldest medalist in the Olympics was Oscar Swahn of Sweden who won a silver medal in shooting at the 1920 Games in Antwerp at the age of 72.

The basic equipment for a fencer is a helmet made of wire mesh and metal. There is an under plastron on the arm which holds the sword to protect the body from under the arm to just above the waist. The under plastron looks a bit like a coat that has been chopped in half. On top of this is the plastron which is the main protector. It is a white jacket. There is a glove with padding for the hand holding the sword and finally some track pants.

Basically speaking a foil is a lot thinner, springer and more bendable than an epee the epee also possesses a larger hand guard. Also during the bout the foil target area is the torso only where as epee target area is the whole body.

when scoring points with a foil the points are awarded and a time and fencing time basis unlike in epee where if two people hit they are both given a point.

The maximum weight of a competition foil blade is 500 grams, but most blades used in competition are around 350 grams. The maximum weight of a competition epee is 770 grams, but most blades used in competition are around 300-450 grams. The maximum weight of a competition saber blade is 500 grams, but most blades used in competition are around 400 grams.

You can't. The blade of a fencing blade is made out of tempered steel, making it able to withstand a great deal of pressure, while bending, before breaking. The guard at the base is either made out of aluminum or titanium, and the handle is either rubber or a molded alloy.

Not sure how specific you are looking for but more or less they were used for killing, but beyond that it really depends on what type of sword among other things... sorry I couldn't be of more help :P
