Collegiate Fencing

Collegiate fencing is a competitive sport at the college level where athletes practice and compete in three disciplines: foil, épée, and sabre. Each weapon has its own rules and target areas, requiring athletes to develop specific techniques and strategies. The sport emphasizes agility, precision, and tactical thinking, with bouts typically conducted on a strip using electronic scoring systems to register touches. Collegiate fencing promotes teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship, with teams representing their schools in dual meets, tournaments, and championships nationwide. It is both a physically demanding and intellectually engaging sport, fostering skill development and camaraderie among student-athletes.
