Fencing

Fencing, an ancient sword-fighting art from the European region of Earth, uses blocks, disarms, and quick slashes and thrusts to create an often-deadly fighting style. Although best known in the modern universe as a form of sport which employs capped, nonedged swords and protective gear to remove most of the risk, it (or its many analogs in non-human cultures) is still practiced in its original form by many who fight with the blade.
