There are three weapons used in fencing. The target areas and rules for each style vary:
- Foil - Hits scored with the point on the torso/mask bib only.
- Epee - Hits scored with the point anywhere on the body.
- Sabre - Hits scored with the point and edge of the blade anywhere above the waist.
At SFC we predominantly fence epee*.
We are a small, friendly club for adult fencers (18+). Members train for competition or just fence for fun. Why not join us?
(*Beginners will normally learn the fencing basics at foil before moving on to epee.)
