4:09 Love the wide stances and very slight if any footwork, with large torso-movement evasions. Very clearly shows the roots of this type of fencing in the saddle, against another mounted swordsman. EDIT: Returning to this three years later, it's beautiful to see the change from shoulder- and elbow-powered cuts to finger-/grip-powered moulinets, and the change from stresso-tempo to parry-riposte between the styles. To this day Polish saber is still my favorite form of sword combat, love the way it flows.

[@boska_szklaneczka6010]

As a guy attending in this show i am very humbled to see it has over 150k views. it took a lot of training to fight close quarters with little protection

[@starhalv2427]

What I know about this style: - It was developed for use by cavalry, mostly against Ottoman Turks and Krimean raiders, so it was a horse against horse or horse against foot style, thus a relatively small amount of footwork once you begin swinging (Compared to western styles, at least) when you use it on foot - While it's associated with Poles, it was also widely used by Ukrainian Cossacks from Zaporozhia (Modern day middle Ukraine) - Characteristic wide swings are part of this style with intention to cut down as many enemies as quickly as you can without leaving yourself open for counterattacks. That might be because Polish army was relatively small compared to their enemies (Swedes, Russians or forementioned Turks) and dependent on mass cavalry charges for effectiveness, and the sabre was a backup method used when you ended up surrounded by enemies due to charging into their lines and needed to clear a way to escape. - Western (German, etc) influence was pretty much nonexistent in this style, but from what I learned back in school it took huge inspiration from Hungarian, Serbian and Arab fighting styles (Much like Polish military organisation was also inspired by Balkan cultures)

[@TheFazior]

Polish Cross Sabre, fast and deadly, love it.

[@charliefasurf1000]

Actually the history of Polish saber fighting has nothing to do with Turkish or German school of sword fighting. Poles developed saber technique specifically to chop onions and potatoes in-flight as they fall into the cauldron to form a tasty traditional Polish stew after hard day of work. In the later era it was also used in sword fighting, once Turks and Germans ran out of their own onions and potatoes and came loitering through Polish lands in search for these highly-praised vegetables. Just my opinion!

[@sahiel5]

idiota

[@Bialy_1]

Actually patatoes are from America and came to Europe long after Germans and Turks started making trips to Poland to rob and murder.. but good try nevertheless.

[@DonTatari]

@@BruceMcCulloch0 if someone fail on that its you . Biały said "from America", you said Preru , as far as i'm concerned Peru and Bolivia are both in America , second thing is that Columbus discovered America at the end of XVth cenury and potatos sailed to Europe even later , so whats your point chump , sorry Boar?

[@poorpoora]

Bravo for this flashy analysis. What do you think Poles used their sabres for in Moscow after seizing it in 1609? Have your country ever seized Moscow? We beat 100 thousand strong armies for centuries. Germans didnt dare to attack us for centuries as we were stronger and richer than them. We beat 200 thousand strong Turkish armies one after another before the US even existed. I suggest you learn some history before sharing your oppinions next time mate.

[@kocur-ul9ku]

​@@poorpoora they did always with partners russians and austrians never alone they did always get fucked by the Poles

[@BarnabaRudge]

It should be remembered that the Poles had to fight the Tatars and Turks, and these were very good warriors. The Polish knight wrote in a letter that the Turks were the toughest opponent with which he had to fight. And in the battle there were so many of them that their hands fainted from killing them. And new ones appeared in place of the dead. The Poles had to learn effective ways of fighting. One or several opponents from different countries usually fell on one Pole.

[@kdssi648]

without Polish Sobieski all EUROPE would be muslims long time ago

[@piotrmalewski8178]

That was probably the reason why this technique looked like that: cut and kill or knock out as many as possible, as quickly as possible, before they surround you. And if they surround, you, create a sort of shield around you, made of your fast-moving blade.

[@joeknow3712]

Where did you get this quote? What Knight said this?

[@i_love_crpg]

I mean yeah, polish sabres are just evolutionized versions of eastern sabres. The polish pretty much copied and took their sabres and custom fitted them

[@audiobookfr5845]

@@i_love_crpg The saber in Europe has been known since the fifth century. When the Turks and Tatars [light cavalry] became the main enemy for the Poles. It was also the Polish people who gradually gave up the sword and knightly cavalry, and changed into sabers more useful for light cavalry.

Guys, I'am from Poland, so I know little my country history. If somebody tells story that we lern the saber technics from germans or other west europian country it means he dont know nothing about europian history, or at least middle, north, south and east europian history. In the time where polish sabre was developted to almost perfect, in the west europe soldiers were using quite prymitive rapier. Thats way in the battles like battle of Kircholm with Sweden in 1605 (Sweden that time was strong kingdom, conquered big part of Germany, Netherland etc), the polish army simply devestaded the enemy, around 80 to 90 % dead, and only around 100 polish soldiers was killed. Polish hussar or less known Lisowczycy were operating as some kind of present special force. Training togerher with a horse last for few years. Battles like this was many where we were outnubered 2, 3, sometimes more than 10 times (or more than 100 times at battle of Hodow 1694 ). Becuse only by numbers the enemy could win the battle.

[@ThePartia77]

Polish cross cutting art it has nothing to do with the german school. Where did you get this information from?

[@jurekmiklaszewski7027]

I will actually reply to this. The first source mentioning the Cross cutting technique is Polish Księgi Sarnickie, he is speaking about the use of german greatsword. The source comes from 1575 while the first source speaking about crosscutting in Polish regards is 100 years later.

[@EverynyanSan]

To mi nie przypomina sztuki krzyżowej tylko jakies zachodnie wygibasy

[@PomiDarQu]

@@andrzejsielaszuk5502 To nieprzerwane tłuczenie w oponenta, to aktualna technika. po pierwsze, pozwala wyznaczyć kto jest szybszy - za wolno się zasłonisz? Obrywasz. Po drugie jesteś ciągle w kontakcie, łatwiej ci wyczuć przeciwnika - sposób w jaki atakuje i jak paruje. Trochę jak w szermierce.

[@MartinWoad]

Ta technika ma jedną wadę. Jedno niskie pchnięcie i po tobie.

[@PomiDarQu]

​@@MartinWoad Wyprowadzanie niskiego cięcia jest odrobinę bezsensowne, gdyż przestając parować cięcia przeciwnika, gwarantujesz sobie cięcie z góry. Parowanie i atak następuje bardzo szybko (po bloku szabla jest od razu gotowa do cięcia), więc nawet jak trafisz, to gwarantujesz sobie znacznie gorszą ranę (głowa i ramiona, klatka piersiowa itp są odsłonięte). A jak wiadomo masz zdecydowanie mniejsze szanse na przeżycie po cięciu szablą w głowę, niż po pchnięciu w korpus :P Dlatego szybkość jest tutaj kluczowym elementem, a samobójcze ataki nigdy zdrowe nie były.

We Poles haven't learnt much from Deutsche or Austrian, but they has been learning a lot from us and Hungarians. Poland was a border country of Europe, so Poles were experiencing constant threat and pressure from the west and south and had to be always prepared and superior to overwhelming forces of very skillful Asian warriors

Czyżby racje miał komentator stwierdzając że polska sztuka szermiercza była 'heavily influenced ' przez niemiecką odmianę?

[@jurekmiklaszewski7027]

Jak najbardziej. Pierwotnie systemy szermiercze epoki średniowiecza całej Europy był zdominowane przez wzorzec niemiecki. Oczywiście wykształciło sie wiele regionalizmów. Jednak renesans przyniósł swoisty rozwój sztuki szermierczej w Europie, jednak u nas dominował model średniowieczny, który tylko dodawał ciekawe elementy z ówczesnych sobie systemów. Dopiero na przestrzeni XVII wieku pojawia się u nas coś co możemy nazwać(czy też nawet nasi sąsiedzi opisywali) polską walką. Naszym sukcesem jest i pozostaje urzymanie tego wzoru, niestety XVIII wiek, to czas lenistwa i braku takiego reżimu trenigowego jak dawniej - o czym zresztą pisze i podaje wiele przykładów Dr Sikora. Nasz system nie wygrywał jakąś niezwykłą techniką, a tym, że nasi rębajłowie jednak dużo ćwiczyli i praktykwali szermierkę. Pamiętajcie, ze rozhukane techniki, ścisłe konwencje i sporty są konswekwencją zmniejszania sie umiejętności.
