  Ok,  today,  let's talk about. fencing!  You probably know what the sport is about.  I started fencing because I loved Zorro when I wsa a kid,  and I didn't want to do the same sport as my brother.  I will talk about this fantastic sport regularly because I love it.
 I would like to give you some information about it and today I thought I would start with the number of weapon that you can play:  -  Foil It is he lightest,  you can hit only with the point and the target area is represented by the figure below ( red area)  -  Epee It is the heaviest,  you can only hit with the point and the target is represented by the figure below ( red area)  -  Sabre You can hit with the point AND the blade and the target is reprsented by the figure below:  In terms of rules,  epee " doesn't have any rules"  which means that the first to hit the other gets the point and if the two fencers hit each other at the same time there is a point for each of them.
 Foil and Sabre work on the same rules:  there is a pripority to the fencer who is attacking.  In the next lesson,  I will talk about the equipment needed to fence.  If you are interesting in this sport and want to find more about it,  I advise you to look up on the website of your country's federation.
