Does fencing hurt/is it dangerous? \;

\n\n< p>No. Fencing is not about smacking opponents as hard as possible with a sword. The aim in fencing is to score hits on your opponent\, usua lly these are light and can barely be felt through the protective gear. F encing equipment consists of at least a jacket\, under jacket and glove m ade of lightweight material similar to Kevlar. The face is protected by a stainless steel \;mesh and the weapons have flattened\, round points . Fencing is statistically one of the safest sports\, with are a lower in jury rate than \;tennis and football. Injuries from blades are extrem ely rare and impossible provided correct kit is used\, the most common in jury is a twisted ankle.
