Hungarian Hussar Saber | Basic Cuts

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

This channel was created at the request of students who wanted a handy visual reference for techniques, and in order to help us make new SwordFriends to trade whacks with. Come fence with us! We routinely help long-distance students as well, so if you have questions or constructive commentary, please feel free to ask and/or jabber away below. :)

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

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!

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

Dear Master Russ Mitchell.

I have a questions.Does Hungarian saber attack directly from overarm of 90° to bottom?

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

@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.

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

[cristianolima]

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