About the Sport of Fencing

Fencing is a modern Olympic combat sport that combines speed, strategy, precision, and discipline. Often described as “physical chess,” it requires athletes to think quickly, anticipate their opponent’s moves, and respond with controlled technique.

Fencing is governed internationally by the Fédération Internationale d'Escrime (FIE) and is one of the four sports that has been part of every modern Olympic Games since 1896.
