  1. Fencing It´s the art and sport of a weapon

  2. The basics of the sport • There are three types of weapons: • the foil :the hits are scored by hitting an opponent with the tip of the weapon) • the sabre: the hits are scored with the edge of the weapon • The epée: allows both fencers to score at the same time.

  3. Clothing Wear your club colors or choose traditional white fencing pants. Some fencing clubs fence in tan-colored breeches or even black pants, but you should choose white leggings if left to your own devices. White is the traditional color for fencers. 2 Wear leggings or tights under shorts for practice, if your fencing master allows it. 3 Choose slacks that close-fitting while still allowing for complete freedom of movement. Knit fencing pants from a fencing supply store such as LeonPaul.com are best (see Resources below). Find the Right Shirt 4 Choose a long-sleeved shirt made of very lightweight material. The new synthetic materials will actually wick sweat away from you, keeping you cool. 5 Wear your long-sleeved shirt under your protective fencing pads. Again, a tight garment is always better, since you don't want to give the tip of your opponent's foil anything to grab. 6 Choose a white shirt to keep with tradition, or wear your club colors. If your club fences in colors, it may have fencing clothes that you can buy at the gym or clubhouse.
