It's fast, it's furious...it's fencing!
Fencing is a is a fantastic way to improve balance, co-ordination and flexibility - and it's great fun as well!
Do you fancy giving it a try? Check out our guide and see what you think.
The sport In all three, weapons are wired electronically to record when a hit is scored. In foils and epee, points can only be scored by the point of the weapon hitting. In the case of the foil, only a hit on the torso counts. In the epee, the whole body is the target. In sabre, points can also be scored by hitting the arms and head.
Equipment A metallic over jacket is also worn. This is placed over the scoring area and conducts electricity. Every time a valid hit is scored a lamp lights up on the scoring equipment.
