Fencing
Fencing should only be tried if you are supervised by a qualified teacher and using the correct clothing and equipment.
- Each fencer must wear a mesh faceguard and metallic over jacket
- It is played by two people who score points by hitting a part of the opponent's body with a weapon
- The weapons are electronically wired to record when a hit is scored
- There are three types of fencing - epee, foils and sabre - which have different scoring rules
-
