Fencing is an olympic sport. A metal foil which is the sword and white cloths and a black mask is used for your gear.
At the end of the metal foil is a button that detects when you have hit someone and that means you get a point. Fencing was in the olympic games since 1896. Scientist or other people say that in about 1200 BC there is evidence that fencing has been used before, in that particular year.
