Currently, three types of weapon are used in Olympic Fencing: Foil: a light thrusting weapon; the valid target is restricted to the torso; double hits are not allowed. Épée: a heavier thrusting weapon; the valid target area covers the entire body; double hits are allowed. Sabre: a light cutting and thrusting weapon; the valid target area includes almost everything above the waist (excluding the back of the head and the palms of the hands); double hits are not allowed. Find the appropriate link for the desired list of fencing terms. Hope this helps! http://www.synec-doc.be/escrime/dico/engl.htm Handy website there for new folks to our glorious sport!
