Fencing is a martial art. Whether you practice a European style with foil, epee, or saber, or a Japanese style such as kendo, kenjutsu, iaido, iaijutsu, they are all fencing styles. I'm sure there are even more than these that I've mentioned.

So what's your question then?
If you're talking about Kendo, Iaido or Haidong Kumdo, then yes it is a form of fencing but unlike the sport of fencing there is a more spiritual meaning to the sword play, as the weapon is an extention of yourself and your body.

Fencing is the art and science of armed combat involving cutting, stabbing, or bludgeoning weapons directly manipulated by hand, rather than shot or thrown (in other words, swords, knives, pikes, bayonets, batons, clubs, and so on). In contemporary common usage, fencing tends to refer specifically to European schools of swordsmanship and to the modern Olympic sport that has evolved out of them.
