Military Sabre

ROOM: TBA

INSTRUCTOR: John Lennox

DESCRIPTION:

This class will introduce students to the basic style of English and Colonial military sabre. This style is an amalgam of the systems of several masters from Pepper (1797) to Hutton (1889). It incorporates the aspects shared by these several masters to create a functional system that is representative of military sabre fencing in the aforementioned countries throughout the 19^th century.

The class will begin with basic footwork, moulinets and parries, and move quickly to higher level techniques.

Prior sabre experience is helpful but not required.

The basics taught in this class will be utilized in the Cutlass Theory class. Therefore, the Military Sabre class will serve as a prerequisite for the latter.
