Engage in one-on-one swordplay — épée, foil, or sabre — scoring points by touching your opponent in legal target areas while defending with footwork and blade control, all in full protective gear.

The Essentials

  • Always wear a certified mask and jacket, even in casual practice bouts
  • Learn proper footwork before focusing on blade technique — legwork drives everything
  • Keep your point on target rather than swinging wide, wasted motions
  • Warm up wrists and shoulders thoroughly to avoid repetitive strain
  • Respect the salute at the start and end of every bout
