Basic cuts for the Hungarian hussar sabre lineage, and how to perform them.

Wow. If you're hungry for super specific content on historic Hungarian saber use, THIS is the place. Super cool!

[@scvnthorpe__]

Mentioning body movement is always nice to see, my colleagues too often insist that saber is in the wrists lol

[@nickbonk2569]

love that shirt, that was definitely blue oyster cults best album.

[@Jack.Fontaine]

Thank you for this video, I really liked it! I'm watching foreign videos of my country's fencing style because most of Hungary is starting to forget it's own traditions. You helped me a lot, thank you again!

[@Phil.Martin]

Great video, Russ! Glad to see you have a KZbin channel now. I look forward to your future videos 🙂

[@russmitchellmovement]

Dear Master Russ Mitchell. i'm Demian Sawada Martial Arts Player in Japan.Your video is Very Great!!! I have a questions.Does Hungarian saber attack directly from overarm of 90° to bottom?

[@russmitchellmovement]

Good morning sir, yes we do. The difference is that in almost every respect that 90° cut will have an aspect of body power which renders it effectively a forearm or backhand cut, in which case we number it one or two, because we generate power from the waste which involves lateral motion. Thank you for the kind compliments.

Got your book! Love the vid! Look forward to more.

[@joejoelesh1197]

@02:36 good idea but I think most of us have trained with that particular partner for whom there is no correlation between what cut they shout out and what cut they actually attempt.

[@russmitchellmovement]

Hence having an instructor in the room to helpfully point out "are you aware that you just lied to your training partner?" :)

[@ObjectHistory]

Good stuff

[@Dmarie9007]

Super interesting videos and well explained! I am currently researching for an essay I received from my mentor. One of the questions is "what is sabre rattling" (in 19th century context). Do you have a video on that or book recommendation mentioning that? Thanks :D

[@russmitchellmovement]

It's not a fencing technique! It means to threaten someone. In the 19th century context, I assumed they are talking about all of the various wars for empire, but you would have to look at your assignment for more details on that one.

[@russmitchellmovement]

Feel free to link it! I play various dancers when I find them, but don't have strong connections with the dance community otherwise.

[@cristianolima3712]

What do you think o' J. Bhrams?

[@foki92]

As a hungarian i thank you for the perfect pronounciation of “hatvágás”

[@russmitchellmovement]

Now if only my grammar wasn't trash. :D

[@cristianolima3712]

Where can I learn it in Budapest?

[@cristianolima3712]

Excuse me, is this kind o' saber Hungarian or Polish?

[@russmitchellmovement]

Hungarian, from a somewhat-unusual lineage. Check my Amazon page if you'd like translations of more-usual Austro-Hungarian fencing treatises.
