Starting weapon
When teaching fencing, instructors often start new fencers with the foil. Because of its origin as a training weapon, the foil comes with a set of rules, technique and conventions that translate easily to the epee and sabre. As students become comfortable with the concepts of fencing, they can switch to the other weapons. Many students opt to stay with foil, however, and it is frequently the most popular weapon at tournaments.
In recent times, high-level fencing has been increasingly taught by weapon specialists, and the "foil-first" approach has been challenged by the successes of fencers who only ever fenced Sabre or Epee.~
