10. ABOUT FENCING
The Weapons
Foil, épée and sabre are the three
weapons used in the sport of fencing.
While it is not unusual for fencers to
compete in all three events, they
generally choose to develop their skills in
one weapon.
11. Foil Épée
The foil has a flexible
rectangular blade,
approximately 35 inches in
length, weighing less than one
pound. Points are scored with
the tip of the blade and must
land within the torso of the
body.
he épée (pronounced “EPP-pay”),
the descendant of the dueling
sword, is similar in length to the
foil, but is heavier, weighing
approximately 27 ounces, with a
larger guard (to protect the hand
from a valid hit) and a much stiffer
blade.
12. The sabre is the modern
version of the slashing
cavalry sword, and is similar
in length and weight to the
foil. The major difference is
that the sabre is a thrusting
weapon as well as a cutting
weapon (use of the blade).
One of the most difficult concepts
to visualize in foil and sabre fencing
is the rule of right-of-way. This rule
was established to eliminate
apparently simultaneous attacks by
two fencers.
