Cavalry Saber VS Dueling Saber - Resolved in Steel HEMA

Saber Sparring session between Nathan (Instructor) and Rose (Student) at Resolved in Steel HEMA in Kitsap County Washington.

If you're in Kitsap and are interested in getting into HEMA, we hold classes on German Longsword, Italian Rapier, British Military Saber and Highland Broadsword in the Silverdale/Poulsbo area.

Snap, we're actually getting some good numbers on this one. Thanks everyone!

I've always been team Polish saber... Thanks for proving me right!

Cool swords but in practice the dueling sabre uses pretty strict footwork with a larger percent of thrusts turned into moulinets. Here we can see the rear leg of the dueling sabre prematurely colapse before providing the required speed and power with a timed cut. Just a friendly critique. Looks like fun!

I'd be curious to see both fencers swap weapons and see the results.

There are two types of duell sabres, not mentioned here. One is the, Schäger' of socalled German Accademic Fencing, which exists in two versions, and the Accademic Saber, used for real duells of Accademics before about 1930s. The Accademic Saber had cavallry saber blade, but large baskethilt of Korbschläger ( the lesser common Glockenschläger has a hilt with similârity to spanish cuphilt rapiers).

El sable de caballería es precisamente para hacer cortes desde la cabalgadura, no tanto para duelos a pie

As much as I love my Hungarian Sabre for solo work, the fact that you have to be so careful with it to avoid hurting your opponent makes it hard to compare to military sabre. I took a VB Hungarian sabre to a military sabre competition, and that was a mistake. It's like only being allowed to slow spar against someone who's going full speed. I'm sure your opponent appreciates you not hitting with a proper full moulinet, but you having to be so gentle is a big disadvantage.

I'm sorry if this offends, but the height difference make this look like a FromSoftware bossfight 😭

Doesn't look like it has the profile of a cavalry sabre. What's its weight and PoB ?
