  • What exactly is fencing?

    At Fort Bend Fencing Academy of Texas we hold a few fencing programs at different levels. We have a great passion for fencing and do our best to live up to its rich history. According to Wikipedia, Fencing is a term that refers to a group of three fighting sports. The foil, épée, and sabre (also saber) are the three disciplines of modern fencing, with winning points determined by the weapon's interaction with an opponent. Singlestick, a fourth discipline, debuted in the 1904 Olympics but was discontinued after that and is no longer used in modern fencing. Fencing was one of the first Olympic sports to be introduced. Athletics, cycling, swimming, and gymnastics are the other four sports that have appeared in every modern Olympic Games.


    Modern fencing as we know it today emerged at the end of the nineteenth century, based on traditional swordsmanship techniques, with the Italian school modifying the historical European martial art of classical fencing, and the French school later improving the Italian system. Today's modern fencing is divided into three types, each of which employs a different technique. There are three competitive scenes in the sport: foil, épée, and sabre. Competitive fencing is one of them.  Join our fencing academy today!
