Fencing is a (not so LARPy) combat sport in which two athletes use swords to attack and defend against one another with the aim of striking his opponent.

There are three disciplines in fencing, each represented by its own weapon, set of rules, and target area.

There is no 'best', try all three and see which you enjoy the most. Not all clubs will have fencers/coaches for all three though so sometimes you'll have the decision made for you.
