Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Fencing?
Fencing is a fast-paced Olympic sport that blends strategy, agility, and precision. Athletes duel using swords—foil, épée, or sabre—aiming to score points through controlled strikes. It’s often called “physical chess” for its mental intensity and tactical depth, combining tradition with modern athleticism in a dynamic, elegant contest.
Q: What are the three types of fencing
Fencing is three sports based on the type of weapon used. Foil is a narrow blade that makes contact with the opponent's metal jacket (or lame). Epee is a slightly larger blade that can contact the entire body. Sabre (or saber) is a cutlass-style blade that makes contact with the jacket and mask.
