On behalf of Nepal Fencing Association, it is with great
pride that we have now hosted "Nepal Fencing Association"
website to view for ordinary people and full fill the desire
of fencing game. We are aware that Fencing Association has
continuously developed programmes to ensure the relevance of
sport in today’s society. It has launched initiatives that
enhance the role of sport in society to promote health and
human development, provide humanitarian assistance and
advance women’s participation in sport. It has added
environmental sustainability as one of its primary concern,
along with sport, education and culture. And amongst many
others, it has taken a strong and visible stance against
doping in sport.
Recently, we have drafted a fencing games so that our core
values are defined for the development of sports in Nepal.
Our government is now committed more than ever before to
work in harmony with the international community so that our
aspiration to establishing a peaceful society that preserves
and nurtures human dignity is achieved.
I hope this website will opportune us to dissimilate
information regarding various aspects of Nepal Fencing
Association work in progress our affiliates as well as the
community at large to make the most of the information and
programmes undertaken by Nepal Fencing.
The Game core values of excellence, friendship and respect
underpin all of the actions that the game movement
undertakes in achieving its mission and the principles are
further distinguished by their scope and applicability.
Collectively, these goals demonstrate the fencing movement’s
social responsibility and its deep commitment to promoting
positive change through sport. We are glad to be part of
this movement in our own little way in Nepal and this region
and demonstrate the same through our newly launched website.
I wish all the very best and request your contribution to
continue to work towards these principals so that our whole
region is encouraged to inspire humanity through sports and
organization of various games to overcome political ,
economic, gender, racial or religious differences and forge
respectable friendship in spite of those differences.

WHAT IS FENCING?
FOIL
In foil the valid target area includes the torso (including the lower part of the bib of the mask) and the groin. The head (except the lower neck proportion of the mask), arms, and legs are considered off target. Touches made off target do not count for points, but do stop play.
EPEE
épée is the only one in which the entire body is the valid target area. Épée is the heaviest of the three modern fencing weapons. Fencing matches with the épée require a large amount of concentration, accuracy and speed. Since the entire body is a target, a successful épée fencer must be able to anticipate their opponent's moves and strike their opponent at the correct time.
SABRE
The target area for sabre consists of the torso above the waist, as well as the arms and head (excluding both hands). When fencing with electric equipment, a manchette, or sabre cuff, is used in conjunction with the lamé and electrically conductive mask to ensure that the entire target area forms a single circuit.
