Fencing is an exciting sport that often involves forceful contact with the weapon or another player. The sport is played while wearing a jacket, mask and glove creating a hot fencing environment. The wearing of proper fencing equipment, mask, jacket and glove is essential to safety as blades may break creating a sharp point. Because of these conditions inherent to the sport, participating in fencing exposes an athlete to many risks of injury.
