{{DISPLAYTITLE:Types of fencing} }
This section is for combatants.
General
- There are two types of fencing combat in Lochac. These are:
- Standard fencing (sometimes called "rapier")
- Cut and Thrust fencing, which allows percussive cuts and requires additional armour.
- Different types of fencing combat cannot face each other in the same bout. For example, Cut and Thrust may not face Standard fencing.
- You need separate authorisations for each type of fencing combat.
- There are also separate authorisations for:
- using spear in combat
- being a non-fencing combatant (Gunner) who can use rubber band guns only.
- You need to be able to prove that you are authorised by presenting your current authorisation card or valid temporary paperwork.
- If you are not fit to drive, you are not fit to fight!
Prerequisites
- You must have a current Standard fencing authorisation to be authorised for Cut and Thrust fencing, or to be authorised to use a spear in either type of fencing.
- There is no waiting period for obtaining these additional authorisations. This means you may be authorised in Spear or Cut and Thrust immediately after your Standard fencing authorisation.
- You can use a spear if you have a current Rapier Pike or Pole Weapon authorisation under prior Lochac rapier rules.
- There are no authorisation prerequisites for a Gunner authorisation.
