  The Riposte was a fencing magazine published between 1935 and 1942, providing a detailed and consistent record of American fencing during a pivotal era of growth and formalization. It was conceived as a cooperative publication “by fencers, for fencers,” offering both national and regional coverage of the sport. The magazine regularly featured tournament results, instructional essays, editorials, equipment updates, and discussions of rule changes and interpretations. Its content reflected the expanding structure of fencing in the United States, including the rise of collegiate programs, novice and youth events, and organized regional competitions. Prominent figures such as M.A. de Capriles and Aldo Nadi contributed commentary on topics ranging from refereeing and directing to professional standards and training philosophies. Frequent attention was given to the contrast between the French and Italian schools of fencing, debates over amateurism, and the need for more qualified instructors. Reports from across the country showcased the sport’s increasing popularity and institutional support, particularly through the activities of the Amateur Fencers League of America (A.F.L.A.). Although 15 issues are now considered lost or missing, the final known issue identified itself as the 66th, suggesting a robust and sustained publication history. Across its run, The Riposte documented not only the competitive outcomes of its time but also the cultural and structural development of fencing in the United States, preserving a unique view into the sport’s interwar transformation.
