fencing masters

Teachers of swordplay

Fencing masters are instructors who teach the art of swordsmanship.

Historically, they ran schools teaching combat with rapiers, smallswords, and other bladed weapons, often developing distinctive techniques passed down through lineages.

Today fencing masters train competitive fencers in foil, épée, and sabre.

The title implies mastery of both technique and pedagogy.
