Womens Fencing 101 - an Introduction to the sport

In this lesson, Derek introduces us to female Canadian Olympic fencer Monique Kavelaars, who teaches us about the basics of the sport of fencing – a Fencing 101, if you will. There are three main types of competitions in fencing that differ based upon where you can hit your opponent for points and how you can hit your opponent for points: saber, epee, foil.
