Foism

/ˈfɔɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A style or system of fencing emphasizing thrusts with the point of the weapon.

Etymology

Formed from 'foi' (possibly related to 'foin') plus the suffix '-ism' meaning a system or practice. This appears to be a technical fencing term from historical combat theory.

Kelly Says

Foism represents an entire philosophy of combat—the idea that the point (not the edge) is the most efficient weapon, which modern sport fencing completely validates with foil and épée rules.
