What is Fencing?

All about fencing

by Walter Flaschka

Fencing is the Olympic sport of swordfighting which is directly descended from the duel. Two competitors face off in a "bout", and compete to score points on each other with their weapons. To beat an opponent, a fencer must use bladework, footwork, tactics and strategy. Fencing bouts are characterized by flurries of speed, highly aerobic movement, and lightning-fast blade movements.

Great Question!

LOL I was ready to tell you how to put up a fence.

When I mentioned it to hubby, he thought I meant putting up a fence at first too!!! You're such a funny one! ;) Love ya, Lisa

I did take Fencing Classes at the college here right after high school ......all those many years ago. It was fun!! Can't say I ever used it for anything. Hugs, connie d

Took it in college to satisfy the PE requirements.  It was fun! But I haven't come across many uses for swordfighting in my daily life.
