Fencing is a combat sport that features sword fighting. The three disciplines of modern fencing are the foil, the épée, and the sabre. Each discipline uses a different kind of blade, and employs its own rules. Most competitive fencers specialise in one discipline. The modern sport became popular near the end of the 19th century and is based on traditional dueling and swordsmanship.  Scoring points in a fencing competition is done by making contact with an opponent, with the target area depending on the discipline. Today, it’s most popularly known as an Olypmpic sport, and sometimes will be referred to as “Olympic” or “sport” fencing, to differentiate itself from other sword based combat sports such as HEMA.
