1: Fencing is the art or practice of attack and defense with the foil, épee, or sabre. All three of the weapons have their own distinct history, blade, guard, and target area. Fencing is an excellent outlet for stress and aggression in an artful form of expression. It involves a level of cunning similar to that of chess. Much of the terminology is French and official tournaments are conducted in French.

  * e.g.,  ... Aldo Nadi, the winner of three gold medals and one silver medal in the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp is one of the greatest fencing masters of all time.

2: positive aspects include the opportunity to learn intelligent risk taking, how to win without being obnoxious and how to lose without getting flustered, the opportunity to learn at your own pace and the challenge of unravelling the mystery of the game.

3: negative aspects include ignorant referees, the atrocious cost of equipment and participation in tournaments, the difficulty of finding competent instruction, and the compulsion of every greenhorn newbie to turn into the fencing master when someone just a week or two newer to the sport is around.

1: Fencing is a sport derived from western swordfighting. In its modern form, it is like a linear, low-impact form of boxing. Electronics are now used to detect hits (or "touches") and the game is more about strategy and skill than strength.

  * e.g.,  ... A: Did you see the Olympic fencing? 

 [ "fencing" ]

2: It has three main forms - foil (only hit opponent's torso, all hits made with point), épée (hit anywhere, can only use point) and sabre (hit torso, arms and head using any part of the blade inc. point). Foil and sabre have a system called "right of way" for decided who gets the points. In épée, if you hit, you score a point.

  * e.g.,  ... B: Some - it's the only one where you can't see how fit the athletes are because they're wearing three layers of kit and metal blocks on their heads.

3: It is "explosive" - meaning most of the actions done will be rapid changes of pace (as opposed to say, "endurance" activities like running marathons or satisfying one's girlfriend).

  * e.g.,  ... A: You're not a fencer, are you?

1: Everyone who says that fencing is for "fags," SHUT UP! A: stop being prejudiced against homosexuals! B: have you actually met fencers? Have you tried the SPORT (which IT IS) at all, or are you just sitting in front of your computer feeling superior? I am a teenage girl. I am straight. I am a fencer. The best people I have ever met are fencers. Maybe some of them are gay, some are straight, but it doesn't matter. To be a good fencer, you have to be so physically and mentally strong. It takes years of hard work and commitment and dedication. Think what you like, I really don't care, but keep it to yourself. Before you post something on this website again, make sure you actually know what you're talking about, okay?

  * e.g.,  ... Fencing should be taken seriously for the real sport that it is.

1: A sport consisting mainly of sweat and tears. The minority of fencers do manage to get into an amazing college and have generally good lives. Don't mess with a fencer, there's a good chance they'll stab/slash you to death.

  * e.g.,  ... I must need a good resume to get into Yale, maybe I should take up fencing!

1: A sex position that minimizes transmission during Covid1 The 2 partners lay down head-to-toe while wearing facemasks and use their arms to reach out for the other person's genitals, thus keeping their faces about 6 feet apart. Resembles the Olympic sport of fencing because of the masks and outstretched arms.

  * e.g.,  ... Man: Want to come over to my place tonight? We can have some fun.
