Examples
I am a former sabre fencer and fenced as part of the Uzbek republic team.
As the opponent moves to the left to parry, the fencer disengages and finishes the attack on the right side of the torso.
For example, fencer A attacks the arm of fencer B, drawing a high outside parry; fencer B then follows the parry with a high line riposte.
Each match lasts up to one minute; the first fencer to score a hit wins instantly.
For example, the fencer could target the left side of the torso, and begin the lunge.
If both fencers begin their attack at the same time, or the referee is unable to determine who was first, neither fencer scores a point.
