Training is focused on the techniques of fencing with Epee.
I started fencing when I was about ten. I don’t remember having
a reason, but I’ve loved it ever since. Fencing is a great sport
to keep you in shape, and it's also great fun. I’ve had a blast
going to the different tournaments, and different places. Fencing
is a great experience, and I’m really happy that I started.
Weapons
Foil
The foil is the modern version of the original practice weapon for
dueling sword. The valid target for foil is the torso. Valid hits
can only be scored with the point of the blade.
Epee
The epee is the modern version of the historical dueling sword. The
Epee is heavier than the foil and has a rigid
bi-angular blade. The valid target is the entire body, and hits are
made with the point only.
Sabre
The sabre is the modern version of the cavalry sword. Hits can be
scored with the point or the cutting edges on the target area, which
is anywhere above the waist including head and arms.
