What is a "saber"?
A saber is a type of sword used in fencing, characterized by its curved blade and a larger, protective guard. Unlike the épée and foil, the saber is used for both thrusting and cutting, meaning points can be scored with the edge of the blade as well as the tip. In saber fencing, the valid target area includes the upper body, such as the head, arms, and torso, but not the legs. The blade is lighter than an épée, allowing for quicker, more agile movements. Saber fencing emphasizes speed, precision, and aggressive tactics.
