The British Academy of Fencing (BAF) is a professional body for coaching and coach education for the sport of fencing in the United Kingdom. The Academy claims to trace its roots to the reign of Henry VII, and was re-invigorated in 1949 as the governing body for professional fencing in the UK.〔(History of the BAF on the official website. )〕 The Academy provides a comprehensive programme of support and teaching for coaches, and maintains a structured set of qualifications in the tuition of the three weapons used in competitive fencing, including basic, intermediate, advanced and diploma awards. As qualifications are attained, members are entitled to use a range of titles such as Provost, Maître d’Escrime, and Master. In addition, full masters of all three weapons adopt the title Professor. The Academy run regular residential courses to prepare coaches and prospective coaches for formal examinations. While the title "academy" implies that the organisation is based in a dedicated training school or other facility, the organisation is more of an association, and its members practice and train throughout the United Kingdom and abroad. On 22 May 2013, The British Academy of Fencing was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee, with exemption of use of the word "Limited". ==Publications== The Academy publishes a newsletter called (Academy News ), as well as a range of guidance and training manuals for members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British Academy of Fencing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
