A fast and tactical combat sport
Fencing is an elegant, fast-paced, tactical, and dynamic combat sport in which both body and mind are used intensively. The goal is to hit your opponent without being hit yourself. Depending on your preference, you can fence with three different weapons: foil, épée, or sabre.
During a duel, fencers constantly try to outsmart their opponent through subtle feints and unexpected attacks.
