For those of you with less fencing experience, the first question on your mind may be how is "Orita Olympic Fencing" different from any other Fencing Clubs?
At "Orita Olympic Fencing" we use a combination move, commonly used in fencing, that begins with an advance and ends with a fencing lunge as the attack; two of the most basic moves in fencing. But here, the advance lunge itself is so much more than basic; it is a distance gaining move and powerful attack, and a well planned strategy to get the advantage of the other player. It can be about speed or strength, lending explosive power to quick movement. Many complex bladework moves can be executed during the advance lunge such as the pris de fer (taking of the iron), a move that shows total control of the situation and beautiful finess of movement.
In short, the "Orita Olympic Fencing" Club stands for everything that is beautiful about fencing: the strength, the speed, the strategy, the grace, the adrenaline, and the possibility of simplicity or complexity, that make fencing a great sport.
We hope that our site captures and shares some of the excitement found in fencing.

About Olympic Fencing
Olympic fencing (or just "fencing") refers to the fencing seen in most competitions (including the Olympic Games). It is marked by the use of electronic scoring equipment, and conducted according to rules laid down by the Fédération Internationale d'Escrime (FIE), the sports federation governing most international fencing competitions. The current rules are very loosely based on a set of conventions developed in 18th- and 19th-century Europe to govern fencing as a martial art and a gentlemanly pursuit. The weapons used are the electric foil, electric épée, and electric sabre.
