Who is a "fencer"?
A fencer is an athlete who practices fencing, a sport that involves two competitors using swords to score points by touching their opponent. Fencers use three main types of swords: the foil, epee, and sabre, each with its own rules for scoring. Fencing requires speed, agility, and precision, as well as the ability to anticipate and react quickly to the opponent's movements. Fencers train to improve their footwork, reflexes, and strategic thinking, as they must outmaneuver their opponents to land successful touches while avoiding being hit. The sport combines physical skill with mental focus.
Examples
