Awesome, thanks! I have tracked these down.

Aha, Bill Richmond, I know who that is. This is more relevant than you think! For in Germany, there are two types of fencing - olympic-style, which is what I do, with lots of moving and trying to dodge each other. And then there's academic fencing, where you stand pretty much completely still and slash at each other's faces. I'm not really sure why fencers still think this is a good idea - obviously we haven't moved quite as far as boxing yet.
