What is Fencing?

Fencing is a dynamic Olympic sport that blends speed, strategy, and precision. Often described as physical chess, it demands quick decision-making, lightning-fast reactions, and exceptional control of distance and timing.

The Three Weapons

• Foil: A light thrusting weapon targeting the torso. Requires precision and tactical control.
• Épée: A heavier thrusting weapon where the entire body is the valid target. Double touches are allowed.
• Sabre: A cutting and thrusting weapon where hits above the waist score. Fast-paced and aggressive.
