Fencing is a sport that evolved from ancient swordsmanship duels. It was once very popular in European high society, and with the progress of society and the times, fencing is now a much-loved sport in high society around the world.
At the same time, fencing has been brought to the international stage, and in every major sporting event, you can see fencing events!
Fencing consists of three weapon types: épée, foil, and sabre.
The valid target areas and competition rules for the three weapon types are different, so each weapon type has its own competitive characteristics.
In comparison, the épée is more athletic, the sabre is the fastest, and the foil requires more skill and precision.
Ye Xunhuan knows a bit about this and also knows that fencing really saw comprehensive development during the times of Henry III and Henry IV of France.
