Equipment Needed for Sabre Fencing

Video Transcript

"JASON SHERIDAN: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jason Sheridan from the Sheridan Fencing Academy here in New York City, and today, we're going to demonstrate some intermediate sabre fencing. We have, of course, the sabre in her right hand, her glove, her lame, which is for scoring. Under the lame, actually she has her fencing jacket and underarm protector. She's got her sabre mask. She's got along with all of these, her cords. Her body cord here which goes under the arm, and her mask clip. If you get a bigger view, you'll also see she's wearing her pants, knickers and fencing sneakers, fencing shoes as well. All of this provide protection as well as it allows for electric scoring. The lame here isn't for any protection though the jacket is. The lame is just for scoring, and, of course, the wire is just for scoring. If you see inside the guard, there is plug to which the wire plugs in very nicely, allowing the electrical box to score and to register who gets the hit."
