Answer:

Fencing is a type of sport often referred to as "physical chess".

Step-by-step explanation:

I am Bithiah Koshy, if you search me up you'll find out that I am a fencer myself. Fencing consists of three weapons/ blades, Epee, Foil, and Sabre.

Sabre:

Sabre is the fastest of the three weapons. The blade is also the lightest among them.

Epee:

Epee is the slowest of the three weapons. The blade is the heaviest.

Foil:

Foil is the in the middle. It can be fast, slow or medium paced, depending on your opponent and what tactics you use. The blade is neutral weight.

It is a very expensive sport and it is considered prestige sport. Similar like equestarian and archery they are not cheap sports.
