No suggestions. He would die - and not because polish-cossack sabre is better than anything, but because generally there is no chance to survive against this kind of weapon standing with hands only. If the opponent knows how to wield and wants to kill you, he will.
There are small and praised workshops in Warsaw and Silesia - you can order a sabre by web I believe, however one has to wait like a year usually (lots of orders). Don't want to advertise anyone here...
you make some good points I have seen the domos on the cool steel web sights
but still I will continue to look.Systema and Akido have meny answers.I personally do a lot of unarmed knife work.I can usaully handle dodging most slashes except the 45 degree slashing except for a simple gathering step backwards or sideways.
However, you are right if he is a natural he would have an easy time to read you
by the way thanks for telling me about the workshops
I do not tend to argue. Did KravMaga, C56 before - now I practice BJJ, medieval swords and am starting sabre. The key matter is distance I believe. A knife (lethal thing by the way!!) does not guard the body of the attacker as completely as sabre or sword does. You can intercept a hand with knife and attack any part of the body.
I've seen some 'medieval' demonstrations of how to disarm a longsword fighter - it was damn hard, but still possible - a swordsman has to keep some rhythm of strikes. And here the sabre problem occurs: Sabre fighter does not. The weight and sabres geometry lets you to strike in half-rhythm and even quarter - because of elbow and wrist mowing cuts. Nobody is fast enough I believe.
Again - no will to depreciate old and new combat systems. Just few thoughts after what I was honoured to practice. Didn't mean a master - a typical fencer who knows basic 6 parries and knows how to combine them with basic 8 cuts is somebody more than seriously dangerous even if you have a club or knife (and assuming your surname is not Ueshiba ;) )
'twas joke - about O Sensei of course - no offence intended. As for horseback - in central and eastern Europe sabre was a typical duel weapon carried everyday by nobles, cossacks and infantry. Sabres you have mentioned were hussar cavalry ones - much heavier and with a special handguard - in fact slower because of this. Sabres we can see here are lighter. It is not true that sabre had only one cutting edge.
The sabre's yelmen was sharpened and used for back cutting in a scythe-like manner. There is a valuable description in English on wikipedia (but 'szabla', not 'sabre' entitled).
But ...all in all - I have to say it: I love sabres. Very very much indeed - so I'm not a perfect judge here :)
А от млинці на такій відстані ефективні як в зайця стопсигнал. Млинець виконується на відстані контакту-щоб різко поміняти напрям руху так, щоб опонент не встих відбити. Поскільки удар з млинця не є сильний-тому повинен виконуватись прямо в шию-щоб був ефект.

I guess your talking about a complete master of the saber
Let us also remember it is a weapon for horseback and of course unless you have a gun you don't want any part I understand that
however I am talking about the common soldier on foot who needs to commit to get that solid kill strike
let us also realise the saber thou very powerful has only one edge
well reguard less my quest will reveal the answer I want.
if the mind can conceive it ,the mind can achieve it
