Not really. Epee is designed to be like a duel. There's no target area, you can hit and be hit at the same time etc. Foil was originally a training weapon for Epee. The rules in it are really based on good duelling technique - aim for the chest, move first, hit without getting hit etc.
Sabre is based on how you'd attack someone from horseback.
