Fencing is divided into three weapons: foil, epee, and sabre, each with distinct rules and strategies. Foil fencing emphasizes precision and strategy, with points scored by hitting the torso and using right-of-way rules to determine priority. Epee fencing allows for hits to any part of the body, with no right-of-way rules, making it a more tactical and defensive style. Sabre fencing involves striking above the waist with a focus on speed and aggression, with points awarded for both cutting and thrusting actions. The choice of weapon affects tactics, techniques, and scoring strategies.
