Fencing

Fencing should only be tried if you are supervised by a qualified teacher and using the correct clothing and equipment.

• Each fencer must wear a mesh faceguard and metallic over jacket
• It is played by two people who score points by hitting a part of the opponent's body with a weapon
• The weapons are electronically wired to record when a hit is scored
• There are three types of fencing - epee, foils and sabre - which have different scoring rules

Most fencing clubs charge a membership fee which covers tuition and hire of equipment. Welsh Fencing has two types of junior membership:
• Junior members - Junior members are aged between 13 and 20 and can compete in all relevant British and international events
• Musketeer members - Musketeer members are under 13. They compete in county and regional events, British Age Group Championships, relevant age group events and Public Schools Championships
