Fencing

This term is all about the london olympics! We were given the task to write about one Olympic sport that were not really familiar with, and get to know more about  the sport. I have decided that I would like to know more about... FENCING.

I am going to make a promise to you, and I will keep it. Each week for this term, I will learn about one particular sport from the London Olympics and I will tell you what I learnt. I will start this week.


Fencing was first introduced in the London Olympics, the year of 1896. This sport is divided into three  Foil, Sabre and  Épée. In each division you are allowed to hit in certain places and in some places you hit you will be. Were you can see the orange is where you’re allowed to hit. If it is not orange you CAN NOT HIT THERE! But this is only Épée.This is Foil. Can you see where your aloud to hit?This is Sabre you can only hit the upper part of the body. Including the head and arms.
