Crazy, in media you always see these elaborate long sword fights, while in reality aside from feints, it would likely be over in a few swings.

Hi, thanks! I'd say it's as easy or as difficult as most other sports or activities. If you have a club you can join that will be best, if course. Nevertheless, you can also get quite far on your own, preferably with a partner. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to try and help.

Something about the movements of sabers feels more intuitive. The bulk of my training is in epee (sport fencing), so I assumed I'd prefer thrusting weapons such as longswords, but the movements always felt awkward to me, almost like playing pool and halfway like using a spear. With just a few small modifications in technique, good sabers feel more natural in the hand to me. ex: generally, when parrying a thrust, the blade is held closer to parallel to the ground, while for cuts, it's held closer to vertical (maybe like a 30 degree angle for thrusts and a 70 degree angle for cuts). Cuts are also easier to parry in general because you kind of just move into place, while with thrusts, you have to do a bit more to actively intercept and move the blade out of the way before continuing with a repost.

@historyandsabre
@historyandsabre 3 жыл бұрын
Well, the reconstructed methods for Polish sabre are based on earlier fencing styles. They are very much rooted in medieval and early modern German footwork and body mechanics, whereas the sabre methods we practice are utilise a parry-riposte and lunge-based system common in later European fencing styles.

@@historyandsabre yes, and Valville assumed knowledge of the rapier or smallsword (more likely the latter, but he assumed proficiency in a thrust/pointe centric weapon style) when he wrote his treatise on the contre-pointe. He makes many references to how certain things are similar to the “sword,” meaning likely the smallsword, and does not re-explain it in the contre-pointe treatise.

Лучшая защита это дистанция. Защита только клинком часто не работает. Надо объединять эти два вида защиты. Т.е. защита клинком + разрыв дистанции. Не надо встречать атаку надеясь только на постаноку защиты, надо еще уходить и ногами. Личное мнение.

Hi, interestig question. I guess it's due to the slighlty earlier lineage of the 18th c. and its direct connection to Angelo, whose work I like. Also, the background of the Napoleonic wars interests me a lot, both historically aswell as martially. I do like like later English language manuals such as Hutton and Waite aswell but overall I think Roworth is just a good manual to work from that clicked with me when I first began studying it.

Hi, thanks for the comment! There is not one answer for all of HEMA, since the treatises we study span roughly 6 centuries. The earlier portions of styles such as longsword, messer, etc. use a lot of "lateral" passing footwork. Over time, fencing styles changed and in over the course of the 17th century became more linear. By the 18th and 19th century, many styles became predominantly linear and this the category in which you'll find most military sabre styles fall. It's basically the great-grandparent of Modern Olympic Fencing. Cheers!

Blackfencer synthetics are the best training tools around in my opinion if you don't want to go for steel straight away! If you're interested in military fencing around 1800, go for their synthetic 1796 Infantry sabre or the 1803 one. They are the same blade with different guards. If you want to learn later systems, go for a bowl hilt gymnasium sabre. Feel free to reply with any more questions you might have.

I'll try to give a short answer: side-stepping, also called traversing, is part of British military fencing tradition but becomes less frequent throughout the 18th and into the 19th century. Passing steps (think walking) were very prevalent in previous centuries for systems utilising the rapier, dussack, longsword etc. and still taught at this time for certain disarms ir against polearms. In simplified terms, we do have a lunge based, increasingly linear system here. Also, it's hard to do any kind of widr-ranging footwork when you want to film it.

I get what you mean about filming. It's something I've been wondering as I've been trying to study this recently. By the way, in a real fight, would traversing be very useful/beneficial (I'm thinking it fell out of use as it became more sport based, but I could be wrong)?

@historyandsabre Жыл бұрын
@@DreamBelief Hey, absolutely no offence taken. You asked a sensible question in a respectful way, so everything's fine! :) Yeah, kinda. Traversing absolutely is useful and I find myself circling around my opponent whenever I'm fencing outside in an attempt to find more stable ground and put myself at an advantage or put them at a disatvantage. So in short, yes. It's less important indoors on an even floor with even lighting except for the odd offline action that later systems retain.
