ABSTRACT:
This research aims to examine the technical proficiency of certain fundamental kinematic skills in fencing (normal advance, forward jump, and stabbing) and determine the degree of learning motivation among fencing students. Given the nature of the issue and the goals of the study, the researchers adopted a descriptive strategy that made use of survey data and correlational correlations. This approach aims to describe the phenomenon, as it exists in reality and analyze the relationship between two or more variables without interfering with controlling or changing the variables. The research community consisted of sixty-two third-year students enrolled in the University of Kufa's College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for the 2024-2025 academic year. Thirty pupils were chosen at random from this population, representing (48.38%) of the original population, and (6) students for the exploratory experiment, representing (9.67%) of the population under study. Among the researcher's most significant findings is that: Following the results' presentation, analysis, and discussion, the researchers came to the following conclusions: The study's findings demonstrated that fencing students had a high degree of learning desire, indicating their psychological and motivational readiness to participate in training and develop their kinetic and technical skills. Among the most crucial suggestions made by the researchers is that: Enhancing students' learning motivation by designing motivational training programs that rely on continuous encouragement and positive rewards to enhance intrinsic motivation.
