PROGRAM: New
President-Elect and Program Chairman Terry Bose introduced Ted Katzoff,
Fencing Master. Ted’s been involved with fencing for n=
early
50 years. Swordplay has exi=
sted
since the dawn of human history for self defense and making war. It has now evolved into sports a=
nd
games. He is a Fencing Mast=
er
which is the result of instruction, writing a thesis, and written and oral
exams. He teaches theatrical
swordplay, fencing training and choreography, and wheelchair fencing. There are three main areas of fe=
ncing:
Real Swords (mostly historical combat), Stage Combat, and Olympic Sport.<=
span
style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> It has been an Olympic Sport sin=
ce the
first games in 1896. For the
first time this year, however, it has significant U.S. Television

gold and a bronze in saber. He
showed us a wide variety of swords.
First category was War Swords which included Broadsword, Bastard
Sword, Rapier (dueling), Parrying Dagger, Musketeer Rapier, Small Sword a=
nd
Foil. Next category was Sta=
ge
Swords like the very light rapier, saber and Roman dagger. He had the dagger th=
at
Robin Williams used in “Hook”. Said Williams did all of his own=
sword
work and Ted trained him. N=
ext
category was Sports Weapons which were the Foil (no sharp edges or point
– torso the target – thrusting only), the Saber (cutting weap=
on
– head and arms added to the target area), and the Epee (blade simi=
lar
to a rapier – whole body is the target). Fencing is an
international sport and there is competition for all ages. He’s especially looking for
people in wheelchairs who would like to learn how to fence. Ted can be contacted at (310) 52=
