Combat sports are based on the SKILLS used in fighting.In these sports the competitors may be unarmed as in Judo and boxing or they may be armed as in fencing and kendo.
Competitions take place on a mat or "shiaijo" which is 9 or 10 m and is square in size,bounded by "danger "and "safety" areas to prevent injury. Competitors try to throw,pin or master their opponents by applying pressure to the arm joints or neck.Judo bouts are strictly monitored,and competitors receive points for superior technique,not for injuring their opponent.
Three types of swords are used:foils,epees and sabres.Officialfoil and epee competitions always use an electric scoring system.The sword tips are connected to lights by a long wire that passes underneath each fencer's jacket.A bulb flashes when a hit is made.
These are some brief important informations about JUDO and FENCING .
