| rdfs:comment | - Fencing is a Taunt done by the Spy. This taunt is done with any of the spy's melee weapon except the Spy-cicle or the Sharp Dresser. This taunt is 5 seconds long, and the spy will say one of these two lines: "I'm going to gut you like a Cornish game hen" or "Just lay your weapons down and walk away". The taunt has the spy thrust his knife forward a little twice, dealing 25 damage each. The final thrust does 500 damage, (Instant kill) and has the same range as if you were hitting a enemy normally. This weapon, like most other kill taunts, this can be done successfully during Humiliation and Stalemate. It is generally suggested that the spy say(s) something early in the taunt, such as "No", as it is one of the loudest taunts.
- Fencing is a sport requiring the use of swords. There are three weapons in fencing, foil, epee, and saber. Fencing involves a complex system of touches and right of way for foil and saber. Epee, uniquely, does not have right of way. Fencing requires the use of parries to block attacks from the opponents. When one successfully parries in foil or saber, he or she gains the right of way. Right of way is used to determine who gained the touch, e.g. if two people attack at the same time, the one with the right of way is awarded the point. If nobody has right of way, it is called simultaneous or "together".
- Historicly, Chuck Norris has had little to do with sword-play, but whenever he does; he wins, even if it's not a competition.
- Contemporary fencing is the modern state of the western art of combat with the small sword. It is also called olympic fencing, and began in Italy in the 18th century. The Italian school modified the original Spanish, "classical fencing", and the French school later refined the Italian system. Modern Spanish fencing also became prominent in the 19th century.
- In the broadest possible sense, fencing is the art of armed combat involving cutting, stabbing, or bludgeoning weapons directly manipulated by hand, rather than shot, thrown or positioned. Examples include swords, knives, pikes, bayonets, batons, clubs, and similar weapons. In contemporary common usage, "fencing" tends to refer specifically to European schools of swordsmanship and to the modern Olympic sport that has evolved out of them. Fencing is one of the four sports which has been featured at every modern Olympic Games. Currently, three types of weapon are used in Olympic fencing:
- In 2258 of an alternate reality, Hikaru Sulu told James T. Kirk that his combat training was in fencing, which he later demonstrated while fighting Romulans with a sword on the Narada's drilling rig over Vulcan. (Star Trek) Lieutenant Sulu was at one point an enthusiastic fencer. He claimed the sport "tones the muscle, sharpens the eye, improves the posture." In 2266, when he was affected by the Psi 2000 virus, he chased crewmen around the corridors with a foil. (TOS: "The Naked Time" )
- Fencing was the art of training and sparring with swords. Those who practiced it were known as fencers. Stevan Makintay and Ketrian Altronel met and subsequently fell in love while learning to fence. Count Dooku was considered to be a master in the art of fencing with a lightsaber.

- Fencing is the sport of fighting with swords. The most common version of fencing today, also called olympic fencing or competitive fencing, is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same three weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art. In modern fencing, your sabre or epee can have a grip called an orthopaedic grip, also called pistol grip. This type of sword grip was made so that people who had lost fingers in a war, could still practice their fencing.
- Fencing was an ancient Earth sport where two competitors in protective clothing faced off against each other armed with thin, blunted sword-like weapons. Each of three different weapons (foil, saber, or épée) had different rules. For example, saber was the only weapon where one could use their sword in a cutting motion. The aim of the sport was to score points by making "touches" with the weapon on the opponent's body. The winner was the one who first reached a certain number of points. Nancy Sastrowardoyo lettered in fencing in high school. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station)
- Fencing is one of the four sports which has been featured at every modern Olympic Games. Currently, three types of weapon are used in Olympic fencing:
* Foil — a light thrusting weapon; the valid target is restricted to the torso, the chest, shoulders, and back; double touches are not allowed (see priority rules below). This weapon follows the rule of "right of way"
* Épée — a heavy thrusting weapon; the valid target area covers the entire body; double touches are allowed. There is no "right of way"
* Sabre — a light cutting and thrusting weapon; the valid target area is the saddle line, which is from one side of your hip to the other and up, this also includes the head. The target area does not include the hands. This weapon follows "right of way"
- James T. Kirk was on the Starfleet Academy fencing team. (TOS comic: "The Flight of the Buccaneer") Hikaru Sulu was an avid fencer and once described himself as a "master swordsman". While affected by the Psi 2000 virus in 2266, Sulu chased crewmen around the corridors of the USS Enterprise with his fencing foil. (TOS episode: "The Naked Time"; TOS comic: "No Compromise Part One") In an alternate reality, Sulu had received advanced combat training in fencing. In 2258, he fenced with Romulan guards atop the Narada's drill platform high in Vulcan's atmosphere. (TOS movie: Star Trek)

- Fencing is the sport of fighting with swords. The most common version of fencing today, also called olympic fencing or competitive fencing, is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same three weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art. The term for Fencing dates back to antiquity, being used by ancient Romans and Egyptians. Like most styles of fencing, Roman fencing used one hand, however, it differentiates from modern fencing because the hand which would not be used would hold a shield. There were three types of swords in Roman fencing, a gladius (a sword without a guard, much like a long knife), longsword, and short sword. In modern times,there have been fencing schools as early as 1610, but fencing was also taught for military purposes. Modern fencing is mostly used for sport, rather than self defense or military purposes. In modern fencing, your sabre or epee can have a grip called an orthopaedic grip, also called pistol grip. This type of sword grip was made so that people who had lost fingers in a war, could still practice their fencing.

* 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 hands); double touches are not allowed (see priority rules below). Etymology: The word 'fence' was originally a shortening of the Middle English 'defens', that came from an Italian word, 'defensio', in origin a Latin word. The first known use of defens in reference to English swordsmanship is in William Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor: 'Alas sir, I cannot fence.'

(TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris" , "I Borg" , "Lessons" ) For "We'll Always Have Paris", Andrew Probert designed a scoreboard, after Production Designer Herman Zimmerman instructed him to do so, and decided to devise a costume design concept for the 24th century fencing outfits, which he informally submitted at about the same time.

Warning: The following section is non-canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity. It contains information explicitly released under the Infinities brand and/or confirmed to be non-canon by the author or Lucasfilm. Information exclusive to this section did not happen in the "proper" Star Wars Legends continuity. A Lightsaber Fencing Tournament was held at the Jedi academy at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant towards the end of Roan Novachez's second year of attendance there. Roan was pitted against his friend, Pasha, though at the time the two were not getting along. During the tournament, the bullies Cronah and Cyrus shone a light in Pasha's eyes and Roan stopped the fight in order to allow Pasha to recover. This mended their friendship and Pasha went on to win the tournament, demonstrating excellent lightsaber technique. Non-canon information ends here.
