剑客行

南宋·陆游

我友剑侠非常人，袖中青蛇生细鳞。

腾空顷刻已千里，手决风云惊鬼神。

荆轲专诸何足数，正昼入燕诛逆虏。

一身独报万国雠，归告昌陵泪如雨。

“格斗中的芭蕾”——击剑运动小史

"Ballet in Fighting" - History of Fencing

击剑虽然是一项以攻击为最终目的的项目，但是在“格斗”中，贯穿始终的都是优美的动作、高雅的气质，互相尊重、崇尚公平的礼节。它不只是纯粹拼体力，更讲究礼让和轻灵。每一回合的较量，都是脑力和体力的综合考验，能够锻炼人的思维、随机应变的能力和战胜困难的心理素质。

Although fencing is a sport with the ultimate goal of attack, there is always beautiful movement, elegant temperament, mutual respect, and fair etiquette in "fighting". It is not just purely physical.  People pay more attention to its courtesy and lightness. Each round of competition is a comprehensive test of mental and physical strength, in which people can exercise thinking, the ability to adapt to situations, and the psychological quality of overcoming difficulties.

现代击剑运动最早起源于中世纪欧洲，最初是作为一种贵族、剑客决斗的手段，后经演变成为现在的奥运会传统比赛项目。在中世纪欧洲，击剑与骑马、游泳、打猎、下棋、吟诗、投枪一起被视为七种高尚运动，被誉为“格斗中的芭蕾”，并已成为世界上最受欢迎的十大休闲运动之一。

The modern fencing movement originated in medieval Europe， when people originally used it as a means of aristocratic and swordsmen duels. It later evolved into a traditional competition in the Olympic Games. In medieval Europe, fencing, along with horseback riding, swimming, hunting, playing chess, poetry reciting, and shooting were regarded as seven noble movements，known as "ballet in fighting," and it has become one of the top ten most popular leisure sports in the world.

本学期，徐州嘉治剑桥公学正式开设了学生击剑选修课。

This semester, Xuzhou Judge Cambridge Academy has officially opened a fencing course for our students.

我爱击剑——击剑益处大揭秘

I love fencing - Benefits of Fencing

击剑是一项智者的运动，比赛紧张激烈，对抗性强，持续时间长，击剑学习者需要具备勇敢、果断、顽强和克服一切困难的意志品质。通过参与击剑运动，可以让孩子们获得以下几大益处：

Fencing is one type of sports for wise men. The game is intense, confrontational, and long lasting. Fencing learners need to be courageous, decisive, and tenacious. They also need to have the will to overcome all difficulties. By participating in fencing, children can obtain the following benefits:

1. 培养高贵气质

Cultivating Noble Temperament

    击剑是国外的一种贵族运动，当训练者穿上白色的击剑服，戴上银色的头盔，潇洒的手持长剑傲然而立、人剑合一的时候，一种自信的气质油然而生，因此，击剑不仅是一种锻炼体能和防身技能的体育项目，同时还可以使训练者从内在气质上发生改变，使学生的姿态更优雅，气质更高贵。

Fencing is an aristocratic sport abroad. When the trainers wear the white fencing suits and the silver helmets, a kind of self-confident temperament arises spontaneously. Fencing is not only a sport that exercises physical fitness and self-defense skills, but also makes trainees change their inner temperament and become more elegant and noble.

2. 开发大脑智力

    Developing Brain Intelligence

    击剑运动可给大脑许多良好刺激。练习过程不单是骨骼肌肉的收缩，而且是空间感知、经验、类型识别等右脑功能的综合发挥，因此非常有利于发展孩子们的空间转换、形体感知等右脑功能，提高了形象思维和创造力。

    Fencing can give the brain a lot of good stimulation. It is not only the contraction of bones and muscles, but also the comprehensive development of right-brain functions such as spatial perception, experience, and type recognition. Therefore, it is very conducive to the development of children's right-brain functions such as spatial conversion and body perception, and improves image thinking and creativity.

3. 提升反应能力

    Enhancing Response Capacity

    击剑运动在搏击交手过程中，双方需要不断的观察，不断的思考，在进入交锋距离内、在有限的时间里，迅速做出反应，从而形成一种全新的思维模式，能够有效促进训练者的快速应变能力。

    In the process of fencing fighting, the two sides need to constantly observe, continually think, and rapidly respond within a limited time after entering the fighting distance, thus forming a new thinking mode that can effectively promote the fast adaptability of the trainees.

4. 增强心理抗压能力。

    Enhancing Psychological Stress Resistance

    击剑运动搏击过程中，需要孩子们积极面对危急情况，沉着、冷静，注意观察、迅速判断出对方的动机和下一步行动的可能性，主动想办法克服困难，培养良好的心理抗压能力。

    In the process of fencing fighting, children need to face critical situations actively, remaining cool and calm. They have to pay attention to observation and quickly determine the motivation and the likelihood of further action of their opponent.
