Esgrima

Esgrima, or fencing, is a competitive sport involving two participants who use specialized swords—foil, épée, or sabre—to score points by making contact with their opponent under specific rules. It combines agility, strategy, and precision, emphasizing speed and technique. The sport originated as a form of swordsmanship for dueling and self-defense but has evolved into an Olympic discipline with structured competitions. Fencers wear protective gear and follow established conventions to ensure safe and fair matches. Overall, esgrima is a dynamic sport that tests both physical skill and tactical thinking in a controlled, formal environment.
