About This Activity
Fencing is a sword-fighting sport commonly nicknamed "physical chess" due to it being a very tactical/strategic sport. Fencing also consists of 3 different weapons to choose from: foil, epee, and sabre. Each weapon has its own style and way of scoring. Fencing is also done with electronic scoring so that a valid hit is easy to detect. Furthermore, fencing is an NCAA sport and also was one of the first Olympic sports. Students will have the opportunity to compete in the high school league and other tournaments, and either purchase or rent gear needed to train and compete.
