Details
Fencing as sport has existed since ancient Egypt, and has been practiced in many forms in various cultures. Modern fencing owes homage to the unarmored dueling forms that evolved from 16th century rapier combat. By the 18th century, the rapier had evolved to a simpler, shorter, and lighter design that was popularized in France as the small sword. The French small sword school forms the basis of most of modern fencing theory.
