People at my old club experimented with non-linear fencing, it just doesn't really work. It works a bit with saber but certainly not with foil. With saber people were doing what Kim Jong Ill was talking about scoring some very clever hits but it had a lot of complications, my problem with it was that it added so much extra complexity to footwork and people are so used to traditional footwork that we had a lot of people tripping over their own legs trying to move side to side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgKg0Hc7YIA This looks fun though. Saber is the crown form of fencing, if you don't like getting bruises then go home. Epee is a very close second and when I was fencing I'd have been glad to never see a foil again.
