A Sabre's guard is typically around 14cm in diameter.
Foil, Epee, and Saber
Eppe, foil, and saber EDIT: Actually, those are the styles of fencing. Different rules apply to each.

The foil, in fact, is only one of the three weapons used in fencing. The other two are known by different names: the Epee and the Saber.
Divide the length of the fencing by pi.

pi x diameter = 3.14 x 10 = 31.4 feet
2*pi*radius or pi*diameter
The guard dog is now lunging at me. The art of fencing requires lunging.
The term from French is "en garde" (said at the beginning of a bout).
The target area depends on the weapon that you are using. If you are fencing Epee, the target area is your opponent's entire body. If you are fencing Saber, the target area is your opponent's body from the waist up. If you are fencing the third and final weapon, Foil, the target area is simply your opponent's torso. This excludes their legs, arms, and head, limiting it to the chest and stomach region.
The three main weapons in fencing are: 1. SABER Saber involves wearing an electric vest that extends from the neck to the wrists to the waist. All of this area is target. Saber has a large handle, and fencing saber involves slashing at the opponent on the target area, unlike the other two weapons which involve stabbing. 2. FOIL Foilists wear an electric vest without sleeves. All of this is target area. Foil has a small rounded handle. Fencing foil involves stabbing at the opponent on the target area. 3. EPÉE (EH-pay) Epeeists do not wear an electric vest, as the whole body is target, including the feet. Epées have a large handle. Epée fencers stab at the opponent anywhere on the body in order to get touches. All three weapons are the same length, and alike in most ways apart from the ones mentioned above.
