Fencing

Fencing is typically divided into Olympic fencing, Classical fencing and historical fencing. The sport of fencing (commonly called Olympic fencing or competitive fencing) is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same three weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art.
