There are 3 types of Fencing swords:
Epee
Foil
Sabre
The target area of epee is the whole body. You hit with the tip of the blade.
For foil, only the torso is target area, and you also get a touch with the blade's tip. Sabre is only the upper body. You use the side of the blade, but you can also use the tip.
Three are actually three types of swords in fencing: A foil, which is a lighter and safer practice weapon; an epee, which is heavier with a triangular cross section and fluting along the sides of the blade; and a saber, which is used to slash and thrust.
There are three types of weapons in fencing; foil, epee, and saber
The parts are different from one another in each weapon, but all have the same general layout.
The grip: the "handle" where the fencer holds the weapon. There are MANY different types of grips.
The bell-guard: The metal area right above the handle.
The blade: the actual blade of the weapon. However, it is not sharp
The tip: The tip is the part that actually stabs the opponent. It can either be electric (so it creates a circuit and a light goes off) or a rubber tip (for a practice weapon).
Besides the word sword, which is frequently used, it can be called a blade, or called by what type of sword it is: Sabre, Epee, or Foil.
