What is this sport ?

Modern fencing has retained the basic goal of duelling; hitting an opponent with your sword without getting hit yourself. Contemporary fencers use blunted swords to play a game of passionate, exhilarating physical chess. One of the original modern Olympic sports, fencing provides a vigorous workout, rewards mental agility over sheer strength and power, and is one of the safest sports. In fact, you're more likely to be injured jogging or playing golf.
There are 3 weapons used today Foil , Epee and Sabre. Beginners usually start with the Foil. Fencing uses many strange terms some from old French and these are listed here.

Visiting fencers are always welcome (a small fee will be required) but they need to be members of the BFA for insurance purposes.
