Singlesticks
Initially they were sticks with a guard to protect a hand, used to train fencing.
Go-Now singlesticks have a characteristic feature, they are covered with amortising foam, that enables safe practice without any protection at all.

Something different
It’s a sport fencing system, which refers to Polish duel sabre. Main assumptions of this system are:
• During trainings and contests Go-Now singlesticks are being used
• Opponents fight in “white shirts”. It means they don’t have to dress in protective armour, and what’s more, they don’t have to hit hard
• The trainings, competitions, lifestyle are based on knightly ethics and ethos. We mean such values as honour, good manners and fairness in a fight
• On trainings particular attention is paid to symmetrical progress of right and left side. Also on tournaments we use both sides.
• Popularizing Go-Now fencing in Poland and all around the world.
• International exchange between fencing groups, also between polish fencing groups
• Adopt Go-Now fencing as a rehabilitative method for disabled
-participants and the coach form a circle and make fencing salute with their sabres. Then they sit down and the coach discusses objectives for the training session and all other matters required before the training commences.
-Preliminary warm-up
It is intended to prepare organism for physical activity and increase general physical abilities (strength and mobility). To diversify and enrich exercises we often use dance and other plays.
-Specialized warm-up
It is intended to prepare for strains specific for fencing and practicing reflex.
-Technical fencing exercises:
footwork, hand movements in guards and cuts, diverse exercises of attacks, ripostes etc.
Such exercises are particularly popular with young participants because they resemble fights seen in movies. They have, however, vital practical application because they improve and consolidate fencing techniques.
-Individual and team sparring fights
-A training session always concludes with a farewell salute in a circle, similarly to the opening of a session.
The equipment and system itself Go-Now is an idea of Dariusz Wadowski (PL patent-196873)
