This week, we looked into the NHS Fencing Team and why their numbers are dwindling. Fencing is a combat sport in which points are scored by the weapon's contact with the opponent. The first documentation of the sport can be traced back to 18th century Europe during the renaissance. There are three forms of fencing: foil, epee, and sabre. We talked to the fencing team's captain and some of their athletes to learn more about their season.
