The fencing group in NTNUI have twelve internal rules. The aim is to preserve a good training environment. Since we don’t have a professional trainer, we want a training environment where everyone shares experience with each other and make one another better. The safety rules is a simplification and clarification of the minimum that is expected in the sport.
