Editing Swordsmanship (section)

===== Classical fencing =====
{{main|Classical fencing}}
Practitioners of modern fencing, who were unsatisfied with the exclusive sports emphasis that modern fencing had, took steps to preserve the principles of [[dueling]] and fencing as practiced in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Classical fencing uses the foil, épée, and sabre according to these older practices.

Fencing and sword fighting have been incorporated into films as part of cinematic action sequences. Usually choreographed, these scenes are designed for [[entertainment]] but often demonstrate a high level of skill. Actor [[Errol Flynn]] became known for his sword-fighting scenes, such as in [[The Adventures of Robin Hood (film)|''The Adventures of Robin Hood'']] (1938). Other examples include [[The Princess Bride (film)|''The Princess Bride'']] (1987), ''[[Rob Roy (1995 film)|Rob Roy]]'' (1995), and ''[[Die Another Day]]'' (2002).<ref name=STC>{{cite web|title=Video: Great Sword Fights|url=https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/magazine/posts/2014/november/video-great-sword-fights|date=7 November 2014|publisher=[[Sydney Theatre Company]]|access-date=13 November 2014}}</ref>
