Classical and Historical Fencing, the noble art and science of defence.
What is Classical Fencing?
Classical Fencing is the study of foil, epee and sabre according to the styles of the 19th century. During this period the sword was no longer an item of dress and its use restricted to the formalised combat of the duel with its various conventions. The techniques reflect this, focusing on the swords use on the duelling ground, rather than general self defense.
What is Historical Fencing?
