Fencing rules

Fencing is a sport where two competitors use swords to score points by making contact on designated target areas, such as the torso or mask. The match is divided into timed bouts, with judges and electronic sensors detecting valid touches. Fencers wear protective gear to ensure safety. They score points by executing clean, controlled touches while following rules that prevent illegal moves like hitting outside target areas or making dangerous strikes. The goal is to outscore the opponent within the allotted time, using skill, strategy, and quick reflexes.
