"In this clip we're going to talk about equipment, the basic equipment that you need to start doing some Fencing. So the first thing we're going to talk about is the Underarm Protector, it's a piece of protection that goes under the main jacket and, and the arm that goes into that jacket, or the Underarm Protector, is the weapon arm. The next piece of equipment we're going to use is the Jacket. The Jacket is worn, this one is a back zipper, so he has to put both arms through first and he has to put his left foot through that loop. After you get your piece of equipment you'll just experiment with it, and you'll be able to do it, there. Now the third piece of equipment is to protect the face, and that's done with a mask, a Fencing Mask, would you put that on Bob? There you go,this fits him very well, now these masks come in different sizes, so you have to be very careful which one you order. But Vendors usually will take the mask back and give you the size you really need. Now he actually needs a Fencing Glove, it is not a Gauntlet, it is a Fencing Glove. It protects you from the, the blade going up your sleeve, and it protects the back of your hand. Now he's ready for Fencing."
