The main objective of the sport of fencing is to score points by touching the opponent with the blade of the weapon—whether it be foil, épée, or sabre—while adhering to specific rules and maintaining proper technique. Fencers must demonstrate skill, agility, and quick reflexes to outmaneuver their opponents. The sport emphasizes strategy, distance management, and timing, making successful touches challenging. Fencing is also a recognized Olympic sport, showcasing athletes' technical abilities and mental focus in competitive settings.
