As a fencer and film / theatre swordsman, for over thirty-five years, I have found my notes on terminology and the relevant vocabulary, which I have transcribed for you here, the most valuable, irreplaceable tool in my kit bag, next to my mask, swords and protective jacket. To this day, I can recite a complex fencing definition, verbatim, with ease and without pause for thought. Thanks to my fencing master who gave me the golden ticket to the art of fencing. I now pass the golden ticket on to you.
