Training of a Champion: Sabre Fencing

Unlock advanced fencing techniques with this comprehensive instructional coaching course, developed from years of practical experience and research by renowned fencing trainers. Learn from World Champion Dr. David Tyshler and Individual Junior World Champion V. Prokin.

This course focuses on a dynamic approach emphasizing initiative from the start. You'll discover how to effectively utilize the sabre blade during maneuvering and attack preparations, prioritizing a swift offensive start. The blade is typically positioned in the tierce or between tierce and quatre during the initial stance, with the guard and point directed towards the opponent.

Master the power and versatility of cuts in fencing. Learn to execute cuts with the full sabre edge to any side of the torso, mask, and weapon arm. This course highlights the advantages of coupes over disengagements for cuts, and emphasizes vertical blade movements for greater collision avoidance compared to point attacks, which tend to be more horizontal.

Why Cuts are Effective:

• Versatility: Execute cuts from all angles – above, diagonally inside, and diagonally outside.
• Difficult to Parry: The ease of execution makes cuts challenging to defend against.
• Increased Duration: Starting at a distance of four meters or more allows for longer, more impactful attacks.
• Combination Attacks: Learn to combine multiple attacks into continuous sequences.
• Exploiting Openings: Develop the skill to execute cuts into openings, especially when chasing an opponent.
• Deflecting Counter-attacks: Learn to deflect counter-attacks and seamlessly transition into a riposte.
