    Types of Fencing:

    • Foil:

    • Epee:
      • A heavier, triangular blade with a sharp point
      • Points are scored by hitting anywhere on the opponent's body, including the mask, gloves, and clothing
      • No off-target areas; entire body is a valid target

    Fencing Techniques:

    • Attacks:
      • Disengage: Breaking off an attack to regain distance and control
