What are the rules of fencing?

Sohu Sports News Some time ago, we mainly made a brief introduction to the development history of fencing (fencing news, let's talk about fencing). Today we are going to enter the chapter that everyone cares about and wants to know most. We hope that the introduction of this chapter will help you have a deeper understanding of the rules of fencing. You may have seen in previous competitions that every fencing competition has a specific venue, and this venue has a professional name called Kendo. In ancient times, the road usually became "a certain road", and the venue of our fencing competition was called kendo, which may be related to this. The kendo is a rectangle with a width of 1.5 to 1.8m and a length of 14m. Kendo is paved with metal materials, and there are several special lines to pay attention to, namely, sideline, bottom line and reserve line. We will discuss their specific uses in later chapters. The venue is introduced here first. We know where to play, and then we must know how to play. As we all know, the essence of fencing competition is to try to hit the opponent. As we said before, fencing doesn't mean that you can score by hitting casually. You have to hit many effective parts stipulated in the rules, and the side with the most effective parts wins. Having said that, I want to introduce you to the specific rules. In different competitions, the time of the competition and the method of judging winning or losing are also slightly different. For example, in the round robin, the game lasts for 4 minutes, and whoever hits the opponent five times first wins. The knockout stage is to see who hits the opponent first 15 times in 9 minutes, and the team stage is to see who hits the opponent first 45 times. Of course, in many cases, the time of round robin and knockout has ended, but neither side has reached the required number of times. At this time, it depends on who hits the opponent more times within the specified time, and who wins. Of course, in this process, we don't just look at who was hit by whom, but at the skills of both sides during the competition. Whoever can exert the charm of fencing to the extreme will surely win the applause of the audience.
