What is the highest ever score in fencing?

The fencers will not typically say anything, but the director will order them to come "En Guarde", say "Ready" as an inquiry, and then give the command to "Fence".
How is a pistol grip better than a french grip?
It depends on your fencing style. Pistol grip will seem more comfortable to most fencers, especially beginners. It offers more precise movements, better point control, more powerful parries, and a better range of arm movements. Most fencers prefer the pistol grip. For french grip, which suits classical fencers, the advantage is the ability to pommel, or hold the weapon from the back of the grip. While this takes away control and power, it provides the fencer with a few extra inches of reach, which can be crucial sometimes. Overall, pistol grips are generally more suitable for foil fencers and some epee fencers, but tall, defensive epee fencers are good with the french grip. Also, it's much harder to train and fence with a french grip. It takes more practice and skill to use one effectively.

How hard is fencing?
Almost anyone can fence -- even those who are physically disabled can frequently fence through wheelchair fencing. However, to actually master the sport takes thousands upon thousands of hours of practice, and Olympic fencers have typically trained for effectively their whole lives. Like almost anything else, fencing can be done poorly with little effort. However, to be great at it requires tremendous dedication and effort.
Can I play fencing even if am a left handed?
Of course you can. Some of the most brilliant fencers are left handed; many believe that lefties have an advantage, due to many fencers having not as much experience fencing with a lefty and the different techniques that lefties may try on them.
What is the number of competitors in fencing?
In a bout, there will be two people: one against the other. There are certain situations in which you can "team fence", where a team of three fencers will combat another team of three. They do not all fence at the same time, however. They trade off fencing one team member versus an apposing team member until each person has fenced everyone on the opposite team. Should your question reflect something different, as of now, there are over 20,000 fencers registered with the United States Fencing Association, and many more fence without having a registration.
