Fencing is an exciting sport of swordplay that can be enjoyed by students of any age and offers many benefits. Fencing is both a physical and a mental workout in which fencers learn to hone their strategies against opponents of varying skill levels and build up physical endurance, agility, and accuracy. Confidence and sportsmanship are gained through participation in fencing and extend throughout other areas of life.
The three weapons of fencing are foil, sabre, and epeé. The object of fencing is to score a point or touch by hitting your opponent’s target with your weapon before they get the scoring touch on you, but the rules, strategies, and target areas differ with each weapon to make the games distinct.
