  Sabre (fencing) Information
The sabre differs from both épée and foil in that it is possible to score with the edge of the blade.
When fencing with electric equipment, a manchette, or sabre cuff, is used in conjunction with the lamé and electrically conductive mask to ensure that the entire target area forms a single circuit.
In sabre it is possible for both the red and the green light to activate simultaneously, in which case it is up to the director to decide which fencer receives the touch, however it is also possible for one fencer to "lockout" another fencer.

Fencers are constantly manoeuvreing in and out of each other's range, accelerating, decelrating, changing directions and so on.
