What is fencing ?
In a few words ? Fencing is a sword fighting combat sport !
But maybe you want a better and longer definition ?
Fencing is a fast-paced, dynamic sport, as well as a noble and elegant activity requiring quick reactions, immediate decisions, courage and perseverance.
It is an European combat sport. It is the art of hitting your opponent with the point (or blade) of your weapon, without being hit.
There are 3 weapons in modern "Olympic" fencing : Epee, Sabre and Foil (we don't do that last one in our section at the moment).
A fourth weapon exists within some federations (but not at the olympic level at the moment) : Lightsaber.
Each one has its own set of rules, we'll go into details during our courses.
