Offensive Fencing

Offensive fencing is a style of foil fencing where the fencer actively seeks to attack their opponent rather than waiting for counterattacks. It involves initiating actions such as lunges or feints to create scoring opportunities. This approach emphasizes proactive movement, timing, and technique to land valid hits first, adhering to rules that reward aggression when executed with proper form. Offensive fencing requires strategic planning, quick reflexes, and precise execution to outmaneuver the opponent and score points while maintaining control and safety.
