Heavy Saber bout at Maestro Sullins' FMCP intensive (Classical Fencing Camp)

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

Would heavy sabers be similar to the sabers used by, say British officers in their colonial wars during the 1800's?

Interesting bout.

mmmm close. Credit to Dennis Graves.

Thank you for this video. I'm newly interested in classical fencing and I just keep watching it over and over. What a gem of excellence!

[jbujko]

Are those Hanwei Huttons?

[TSBSFO]

If I am not mistaken, those are produced by popnjay. I'll ask M. Sullins to confirm

I (Achilleus) am using Darkwood Armory's dueling sabre blade mounted by Dennis Graves to an old Parise style guard. Maestro Sullins' blade was a Schmidt mounted by Popinjay.

i just cant make myself understand classical fencing.....maybe i just dont have the patience.

[givebreak]

well, in this case its pretty easy to understand. those are real sabres. if we sharpen them you would not be able to tell them apart from dueling sabres used in - you know - duels. so that changes the way you use them. using a sword as opposed to a car antennae.

Think: "What if these were sharp?"
