Fencing

Fencing is the martial art of fighting with blades. The common version of fencing today, generally known as olympic fencing, is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art. Competitive fencing is one of five activities which have been featured in every one of the modern Olympic Games, the other four being Athletics, Cycling, Swimming, and Gymnastics.
