Talk:Outline of fencing

message: I am curious as to where the term originates. A quick search for online refefences shows mostly english-speaking sites. Might it be that it is an overtechnification of french common usage of words? That would make it a presentism. --Gatonegro (talk) 10:03, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Is it really a myth that maraging blades break straight? fencing.net wrote: "Maraging steel foil blades have a reputation for lasting considerably longer than regular steel blades, and are supposed to break more cleanly." http://www.fencing.net/content/blogsection/2/
If someone could provide any support showing that it is indeed a myth, post it here. Andrew zot 06:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I deleted the alternate definition of flunge as a flying lunge. The flunge and the flying lunge are two different actions, according to Maitre Alex Beguinet, director of the U.S. Fencing Association Coaches' College. The flying lunge is a sub-type of the lunge in which the fencer uses so much force with the back leg that he or she becomes entirely airborne. U.S. Olympian Michael Marx is said to have had (in his Olympic years) a flying lunge that could hit from the on guard line. 
Both the word flunge and the technique of flunging are literally combinations of fleche and lunge. Nothing to do with flying. Twisted86 06:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It says in the stub in this article that the flecher should run "at the opponent (with blade still extended) for a few (generally three) steps." And then later, it says that "the flèche is generally most effective in covering a large amount of ground and keeping pressure on the opponent." However, I have always been taught that fleching consists only of extension and bringing the rear leg to the front. Under no circumstances should the flecher run at the opponent, unless the flecher has already completed the fleche and is running past. Also, fleching should not be done at a great distance; it should be done at about lunge distance, or a little farther away. Is this wrong, or is there another type of fleche out there that I have not heard about? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.89.182.59 (talk) 00:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
