Sabre Fencing. 

 

The sabre (aka saber) is one of the three weapons of modern fencing.  The sabre differs from the other modern fencing weapons, the épée and foil, in that it is possible to score with the edge of the blade, allowing for an increased chance of scoring; for this reason, sabreur movements and attacks are extremely fast and is considered to be agility based. For the other two weapons, valid touches are only scored using the point of the blade. Like the foil, but unlike the épée, sabre uses the convention of right-of-way to determine who acquires the touch
