It also makes sense from the target point of view. Foil and epee are point weapons. You must hit your opponent with the tip of your sword to register a hit. In a competition sword, both have a button at the end of the sword that must be pushed in to score your hit. From a competitive point of view, sabre is the fastest of the three weapons.
Bouts tend to be over a lot sooner than in the other weapons.
Consequently, it is also a little more direct. Simply because we think it is the most fun. Personally speaking, I have fenced all three weapons and I find sabre more suited to my personality. After you have viewed our web site, and if you like what you see, then, maybe sabre and the Beaches Sabre Club is for you, too. Nope, there is no need.
