Does fencing hurt/is it dang erous? \;

\n\n

No. Fencing is not about smacking opp onents as hard as possible with a sword. The aim in fencing is to score h its on your opponent\, usually these are light and can barely be felt thr ough the protective gear. Fencing equipment consists of at least a jacket \, under jacket and glove made of lightweight material similar to Kevlar. The face is protected by a stainless steel \;mesh and the weapons ha ve flattened\, round points. Fencing is statistically one of the safest s ports\, with are a lower injury rate than \;tennis and football. Inju ries from blades are extremely rare and impossible provided correct kit i s used\, the most common injury is a twisted ankle.
