WHAT IS EPEE?

ABOUT THE SITE

If you are on this site, chances are that you do not need a rundown of Epee. But if you are just getting started, I am going to provide my own definition of the weapon. Epee, the purest form of fencing, is not cluttered by the 'Right of Way' rules that the other two weapons (Sabre and Foil) have. The entire body is a target for the heavy three-sided steel blade. I am not going to delve into the history of the weapon, but if you are interested in it, this page does a good job of describing it.
