Historical fencing is a western martial art that studies and practices fencing treatises to replicate the real techniques used in wars, unlike sports fencing which is a sport. It focuses on weapons like the bastard sword, rapier, and dagger, and aims to be as realistic as possible rather than perpetuating myths about weight of weapons or endless battles in armor.
