·       A weapon will never be raised against a person who is not wearing a mask.

·       Points will be kept down except for specified drills or in bouts.

·       Members and guests will wear proper protective attire.

·        Fencers will monitor classmates’ and opponents’ equipment and dress, and will stop action to correct any deficiency.

·      Fencers will maintain proper physical preparation.

·     Fencers will observe traditional respect for one another.
