College Fencing

College fencing is a competitive sport where student-athletes compete in matches using swords—foil, épée, and sabre—each with unique rules and target areas. It combines agility, strategy, and precision, with bouts scored points by touching an opponent in specific target zones with the weapon. Teams face off in tournaments, aiming to outscore their opponents. Beyond physical skill, fencing emphasizes tactical thinking and quick decision-making. It’s a collegiate sport offering opportunities for skill development, teamwork, and competition at various levels, often integrated into the broader athletic programs of universities and colleges.
