Fencing is a combat sport with a storied history - originating from western swordsmanship as early as the 14th century, modern fencing focuses on 3 weapons: Foil, Epee and Sabre. The main goal being to score points by hitting your opponent while avoiding or defending yourself from being hit. Each weapon is has their own unique flair in strategy and technique that will definitely pique your interest!
