Code of Conduct
The Les
Amis Fencing Club 14 point Code of Conduct is as follows:
- Conduct yourself in a manner
becoming a lady or gentleman.
- Always wear a mask, and all
other appropriate safety equipment, when fencing.
- Weapon must be held point
down, except when fencing or for instruction.
- Always follow direction of
instructors and/or club officers.
- Always shake hands with your
opponent after a fencing bout, and when changing sides of the
strip during a bout.
- Try to fence with all other
fencers and encourage others to do the same.
- Be courteous to all fencers,
officials, and spectators.
- Let your opponent know when
they do something correctly, give positive critiques when
correction is necessary, and accept constructive criticism of
your own performance.
- Give help to other fencers
and share your knowledge and experience.
- Avoid arguments with
officials or other fencers, and do not argue over touches
scored. If a question arises regarding a touch, remember that
the director's ruling carries.
- Don't make excuses for your
losses or poor performance, as this only detracts from your
opponent's victory, and doesn't make you appear any better for
it.
- Never turn your back while
"on strip".
- Respect the well being of
others by avoiding intentional corps-a-corps, dangerous
actions, and brutal or heavy-handed weapon play.
- Show pride in yourself, your
club, and the club colors that you bear.
