A Fencing Target Training System that can be used, anytime and anywhere it is properly installed, by a single user, multiple fencers/users, coach(es), and others for as long as desired to practice, train, coach, and conduct recreational fencing with a stand-alone system when other options are not available or as a complimentary system to traditional methods. It is comprised of three major entities: A main wall mounted opponent fencer target henceforth referred to as (40) which can be replaced with other FTTS targes as presented in FIGS. 19 through 37; a supporting wall or ceiling mounted opponent fencer simulated interaction/reaction sword blade contraption henceforth referred to as (42) with and optional add-on target of (98); and a strip (or piste)/foot placement measuring tape henceforth referred to as (44), and as all depicted in FIG. 1. The advantages of the FTTS are an integrated system that provides the individual fencer or multiple users with an interactive and hybrid way to practice/train for speed, accuracy, timing, mental focus, visualization, form/footwork, techniques, tactics, procedures, physical fitness and endurance, or other activities related to the sport of fencing and other recreational uses in a club, home, or other place of sport/recreational usage.

A fencing scoring system may include a controller configured to output a signal indicative of a hit. The output signal may be in response to counts of edges of one or more oscillating signals having a variable frequency deviating from a threshold over a period. The counts may be of edges that are rising. The counts may be of edges that are falling. The counts may be of edges that are rising and falling. The frequency may be based on a capacitance of a circuit. A portion of the capacitance may be from a fencing equipment component. The equipment component may be a lamé. The equipment component may be a weapon.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

An electronics module in a gaming device includes an inertial measurement unit (“IMU”) for detecting acceleration motion, angular movements, and an optics assembly to optimally calculate a moment of impact and to predict a virtual trajectory of a virtual golf ball or other hypothetical object. The virtual trajectory of the target object may be displayed on a display screen either on the gaming device itself, on a computer, or on a television display. A haptics member, such as a vibration or sound element is positioned in the shaft housing and actuated to simulate a ball impact when the shaft housing is indicative of a swing.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a camera coupled to a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.

A protective frame of a mask includes: a first frame unit integrally formed as one piece, and including a first protective part for protecting a portion of a face of a user, and a first connecting part integrally connected to the first protective part; and a second frame unit integrally formed as one piece, and including a second protective part for protecting another portion of the face of the user, and a second connecting part integrally connected to the second protective part. The first connecting part is connected to the second connecting part, and the first frame unit and the second frame unit are connected together to constitute the protective frame.

A removable accessory for a fencing mask provided with a mesh having an array of apertures is provided. The accessory can include a main body having a first surface, and a plurality of projections extending from the first surface of the main body. Each projection is configured to be removably insertable into an aperture of the mesh. Therefore, the accessory may be removably attached to the fencing mask, without damaging the fencing mask.

Electrically conductive apparatus obviates the need for a traditional fencing “Mask Cord” while still permitting a satisfactorily resilient connection between a conventional electric fencing Mask and a target vest/jacket (“Lame”), and offers many advantages including “effortless” connectivity and positioning—in a preferred embodiment, situated between a conventional fencing Mask Bib and Lame—whereby enhanced safety is achieved during play by making the Mask even harder to tip upwards, thereby reducing the chances for injury due to neck exposure.
