Fencing Piste
The fencing piste is a flat, narrow strip measuring 14 meters in length and 1.5 to 2 meters in width. This design ensures that the action remains linear and focused, encouraging strategic movement. The piste's conductive surface helps register valid touches during bouts, ensuring precise scoring.
Rear Limit Lines
The rear limit line is located at the ends of the piste and defines the furthest a fencer can retreat. Stepping beyond this line results in a penalty, such as the loss of a point or awarding a point to the opponent.
Warning Zones
The warning zones on the fencing piste are typically marked a short distance from the rear limit lines. These zones act as visual cues for fencers, signaling that they are nearing the edge of the piste. If a fencer continues to retreat and steps beyond the rear limit, they will incur a penalty. The warning zones encourage strategic movement and help maintain the flow of the bout by preventing unnecessary penalties.
Side Boundaries
The side boundaries outline the lateral limits of the piste. If a fencer steps off the side during a bout, the referee stops the action and resets the fencers at the point where the match was interrupted.
En Garde Lines
Each end of the piste features an en-garde line, positioned 2 meters from the center line. This line marks the starting position for each bout, ensuring both fencers begin at an equal and safe distance from one another.
