Sire Ridicoy.-

Fencing brings to mind, the image of two men dueling for their honour; even though, today’s fencing isn’t as glamourous as the past image evokes; fencing ‘now involves more strategy and endurance than in years gone by.

Students at Douglas College, fence through the Douglas College fencing club. Instructor Simon Tam contri- butes 15 years of fencing experience and his expertise as former B.C. Sabre champion, to his instruction.

There are two fencing programs at Douglas; the beginners and interme- diate programs. The beginners pro- gram instructs the student on the basic moves and the one’s associated with the sport. After completion of

this program, the students can enter the intermediate program, in which they have the chance to apply the techniques they learned in direct

- competition.

Douglas College fencers participate in a_ recreational fencing league, which has all universities and colleges in the Lower Mainland competing in. Douglas has been classified as the ‘‘team to beat’’ in league competition.

With a fencing tournament sched- uled to take place on March 29 at Douglas College, competing teams are going to come from Oregon, Washington State and Alberta, as well as from other parts of British Columbia.
