Definitions:
-
Classical Fencing Classical fencing refers to the
"conventional" weapons of foil and sabre. These disciplines are
based on a number of conventions such as the priority of one touch
over another, fencing time (the time it takes to perform a simple
action) touches scored against participants and the materiality of
the touch. These conventions are based on the swordplay
principles encompassing the spirit of the duel and as such are
visually judged with a
President and a Jury of 4 judges.
Classical
Fencing is governed by the National Fencing Academies applying
the principles of play, procedures, conventions and rules for
competition developed up to the introduction of the electrical
scoring apparatus for the foil which was at the 1956 Melbourne
Olympic Games. LINK: AAI
-
Artistic Fencing
Artistic fencing is the
study (science and art) of the historical and classical swordplay
principles, in order to create, document, teach and perform sequences of
action, resembling either period-accurate or artistically expressive
performances for
recreation, competition and for the entertainment of an audience. Artistic
Fencing is governed by the National Fencing Academies and the Academie
d'Armes Internationale.

Sport
Fencing
Sport fencing is Olympic competition fencing in the disciplines of foil,
epee and sabre. These weapons are electronically judged and
adjudicated by a Referee. Sport fencing is designed to appeal to an audience
and as such rule changes, in
particular to scoring touches, safety and clothing are continually evolving. Sport fencing
is governed by the National Sporting Associations and the Federation Internationale d'Escrime.
