WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOIL AND SABRE?
There are two basic differences:
Foil is a “point” weapon and Saber is a "slashing" weapon and the rules and positions are slightly different. With either weapon, your goal is to make a touch before your opponent does. In Foil, you will need to extend and thrust the tip of the weapon into the valid target area, while in Saber, you can thrust and cut using the blade edge to score.
