USA Fencing adopts new “Unwillingness to Fight” rule

make-war-and-not-peace.jpg

  • Single criteria for “Unwillingness to fight”: There is now only one criterion for applying t.124, and that is one minute of elapsed bout time without a hit scored (or a hit scored off-target in foil). It is the duty of the referee to track the time since the last hit and apply t.124 as necessary.

Read up on it right here!

Shouldn’t be a problem in foil and saber. But it seems contrary to the epee game. (At least that’s why Coach Chris dislikes it!)

Please register for the February/March classes!

Time to pay the piper register for the February/March 2019 Classes!

Could it be simpler? Yes, it could!

Remember, to fence at Baltimore MidAtlantic Fencing Academy, you have to be covered by our host’s insurance. And you only are covered by that insurance if you are a registered member!

As of 5:00PM on Friday, February 1, 2019, there has been no news regarding potential closings of our venue.

In other words, yes, there will be Snow Fencing at Wheeler Hall tonight!

Call Coach Chris at 410-790-8033 after 6PM if there are any questions. He’ll be at the location by then!

P.S.: Despite Capitol Clash, despite snow… fencing went on until 9:30PM at Baltimore MidAtantic!

Venue closed on 1/29/19 due to snow!

Our gracious host, Loyola Blakefield, is following the hallowed Baltimore tradition of battening down the hatches in anticipation of snow flurries. They issued this alert for Tuesday, January 29, 2019:

WINTER WEATHER UPDATE: Due to inclement weather, Loyola Blakefield will close at noon today (Tuesday, January 29th).

No after care service is available and all afternoon/evening activities are canceled.

That, unfortunately, means that there will be no fencing tonight, either!

rude combat

—From a 1905 account of an epee duel.

At Baltimore MidAtlantic Fencing Academy, we are rarely rude — but since the actual meaning is “hard-fought”, yes, we have that, too!

Epee class at 7:30 on Tuesday, open bouting starts around 8:15!

Friday foil class w/ Coach Chris

With Coach Larby holding hands and wiping noses strip-coaching Baltimore MidAtlantic fencers at this year’s Capitol Clash on Friday and Saturday, Coach Chris will be filling in for him at this Friday’s 6:30PM foil class!

All his “favorite students” from his former Saturday morning conditioning class at BFC are surely excited to hear that—and are getting ready for Grandmaster Lee’s  “Twenty-Five Knuckle Poosh-up”!

January 15, 2019: Classes @ Knott Hall

Wheeler Hall is unavailable tonight, so Baltimore MidAtlantic fencing classes will take place in the gym at Knott Hall. Use the main entrance to Loyola-Blakefield and park behind the main building!

Will you look at that? She never mentioned that!

At Baltimore Midatlantic Fencing Academy, we knew that she was up to no good. Specifically, she has been preparing for the USA Pentathlon 2019 Qualifier 2, which will be held the weekend of January 19 and 20 in Colorado Springs, CO.
