I’ve been doing fencing for more than 2 years now and I’ve learned a lot through not just competing, but also practicing. One thing that I’ve always been curious about is the history of fencing. Why did fencing start in the first place? When did it start? I did a little bit of research and came across this Britannica article that talks about all the different aspects of the history behind fencing. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did!
