Abstract
The Olympic sport of Fencing is a modern adaptation of medieval sword fighting. Foil, one of the three weapons in fencing, has complicated rules that make it difficult to understand what is happening when watching a match. This UDLS aims to explain the basics of Foil, and how the rules determine how Fencers score points, so you can better understand fencing the next time you watch it at the Olympics.
