Best Answer

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.

It could be said that the Olympics are what fencers train for all their lives. However, they will train specifically for the Olympics as soon as they are officially on the team- about a year to a year and a half beforehand.
