 | | The foil is a stabbing weapon, as opposed to the saber which is a cutting or slashing weapon. |
 | | The lunge is executed by extending the weapon arm, keeping the sole of the back foot firmly to the floor, lifting the lead foot, pushing off from the back, placing the lead foot at an extended yet comfortable distance, and recovering to the En Garde position. |
 | | A simple pass is as follows: beginning in the upper line right, section 1, on guard in sixth (6), the fencer passes the point to the upper line left, section 2, position 4 by tracing a semicircle under the left side. |
