What is fencing?
Since 1896 Fencing is a Olympic Sport. Combat sport in which two
opponents fight with a foil, epee, or saber. It is a sport of speed,
flexibility, coordination, reflexes and tactics. Strength,
concentration, a sense of observation, perseverance, and self control
are skills essential to fencers. Athletes must have good respiratory
and cardiovascular systems, and be able to recover easily, as fencing
involves a series of intense exertions. As a general rule, high
ranking fencers specialize in a single weapon.
