What are fencing swords. Called?
There are three Fencing weapons. In short they are: 1. Foil - the hardest of the weapons, has the most rules. Originally a training weapon. It is lighter than the epee and hits can only be scored on the torso and from September 2009 in major competitions only on the bib of the mask. The priority system is present in that if both fencers hit at the same time then the referee decides who to award the hit to. Basically, the attack will always receive the point. If the attack stops (ie you step forward but do not lunge) or is parried then the 'defender' receives the point. 2. Epee - the simplest of the weapons. Originally the duelling sword a hit can be scored anywhere on the body and if both fencers hit then they both receive a point. 3. Sabre - the cavalry weapon. Hits can only be scored from the waist upwards as it was considered bad form to injure someone's horse. The priority system exists as well but is slightly different to the foil system. A hit can be scored with any part of the blade. You don't stab with this weapon but "slash" with it, that's the biggest difference between the Sabre and the other two.
