Fencing is a sport developed from ancient fencing duel, and it is a one-on-one fighting event. It means that the athletes of both sides hold steel swords, wear masks and fencing clothes, and stab or split with a special kendo according to the unified regulations. The athlete's goal is clear, that is, to get the effective part of the opponent quickly and accurately. It combines elegant movements and flexible tactics, and this sport requires high physical, technical, tactical and psychological comprehensive abilities of athletes. In terms of figure, a more symmetrical and slender figure and relatively long arms are required. At the same time, we should have good grip strength, arm strength, explosive power of lower limbs, waist and abdomen strength, speed of completing the action and reaction ability after completing the action speed, and strong will to defeat the opponent in any difficult situation, that is to say, we should have good offensive ability and good defensive ability. In actual combat, athletes are required to have a high degree of concentration and concentration, while maintaining good coordination and sensitive response ability. In battle, in order to stab or chop your opponent confidently, you should keep the correctness and accuracy of your movements. Fencers must have great strength if they want to make their bodies move back and forth quickly and overcome the inertia of instant weapons. Due to the lack of protective gear with good performance, early fencing is easy to cause trauma to athletes, resulting in bleeding, serious injury and even death. Since the introduction of perfect protective clothing and the use of blunt tips in modern fencing, the danger of this sport has been eliminated and the promotion of this sport in the world has been greatly promoted. Fencing is divided into three types: foil, epee and sabre. The competition is divided into individual and team events for men and women.

In the epee competition, the referee called? Stop? In the past, as long as the referee lit the colored lights, he judged that he was hit. When the lights on both sides are on, it is judged that they hit each other and both sides score. In the foil and sabre competition, the colored lights of both sides light up to see who is the active attacker and who scores; If you can't judge which side will take the initiative to attack, neither side will score. One side attacks first, and the other side hits the other side's sword (counterattack) and hits the effective part of the other side. Although both lights are on, the one who fights back scores. If the white light is on, it means that the target is an invalid part.
