What is "fencing"?
Fencing is a competitive sport where two opponents fight using swords, aiming to score points by making contact with the opponent’s body. The sport has three main types of swords: the foil, épée, and sabre, each with its own set of rules and target areas. Fencers wear protective gear, including masks, jackets, and gloves, to prevent injury. Matches are typically played in a series of touches, where a point is awarded when a valid strike is made. Fencing emphasizes speed, agility, precision, and strategy, and it is practiced both as a sport and for self-defense.
