What is "wheelchair fencing"?

Wheelchair fencing is a modified version of fencing for athletes with physical disabilities, particularly those who use wheelchairs. The rules and techniques are similar to traditional fencing, with the main difference being that athletes compete while seated in a wheelchair. The wheelchair is fixed in place during matches to ensure fair competition, and the fencers use the same swords as in regular fencing, such as foil, épée, or sabre. Wheelchair fencing emphasizes speed, precision, and strategic movement, providing an inclusive platform for athletes with disabilities to showcase their skills in local, national, and international competitions, including the Paralympic Games.
