"What should we call the guard in the middle?" "The Middle Guard." "How about the one where we hang the tip?" "The Hanging Guard." "What about the overhead one?" "THE GUARD OF ST GEORGE"
The British Empire dominated the world and the Sabre was its weapon of choice for its soldiers, officers and navy. It works so effectively against so many styles. I would like more videos on the Sabre please!!! What I liked was the patient details and time you take.
British Military sabre and dussack fencer here, great video very concise ! Also new subscriber and I understand your pain when it comes to being a shorter fencer (I'm 5,5) ! Anyway keep up the good work and enjoying your content.
Its kinda interesting that there is three main “static” gaurds; inside, ouside, and hanging, and three main “transitional” guards; st. george, inside hanging and outside hanging. i think it works very well for teaching.
The British system is very effective because it is efficient and deadly. It doesn't waist energy. I am interested in Parries and attacks and cut drills.... Good job sir!!! Cheers from Australia!!
By lifting the point against a strong blow, you are putting the strong of your sword against the weak of your opponent’s sword. That’s why it braces you against the blow. Your St George guard is also used with medieval swords, like longswords and arming swords. It’s called Kron. It’s not a static guard. It’s a defense against a descending blow, like sheitelhau. It’s not a problem even with the plain cross guard. I wouldn’t choose to actually use it as a guard, but as a parry, but that’s just me. From the outside half hanger, you can cut straight up to the sword arm.
It's a tournament/sparring sabre by Regenyei Armoury. It is not based on any specific military patterns and the exact one I have is no longer sold, but similar models are available.
@@MedievalGenie Thanks for the response! is there a trainer for saber that you would recommend then? I was looking at the easton mark 3, but it seems kind of pricy.
"What should we call the guard in the middle?"
"The Middle Guard."

"The Hanging Guard."

"THE GUARD OF ST GEORGE"
I actually got someone worried I was racist because I saw a similar block in an African system and called it the guard of St George!
He’s got a 70s hairstyle and an 1870s dress style. Marvellous
Only 1770s furniture and 1670 intro music left to complete the picture
Inb4 I'm not criticising his room, I actually like it, especially the longsword casually lying on the armchair
I'm pretty sure he used to play in Black Sabbath.

Er, thanks!

Good to see a video on sabre for once! thanks!
Are there not that many? I thought there would be quite a few considering how over-saturated longsword videos are!
@@MedievalGenie Well, there are some here and there, but certainly not as many as you find with longsword. Hopefully, that will change soon!
Great video ! Thank you !

great video
Very informative!!
nice vid Johnny, hows the forging going?whats your thoughts on a double ended spear as a fighting weapon, not just a thruster?
Is there a particular system or manual which you use in your saber fencing?
This is the metraton???
Yes, I'm The Metatron after he forgot Italian.
@@MedievalGenie i like more this metraton than the italian one.
what sword are you using?
It's a tournament/sparring sabre by Regenyei Armoury.

Fun fact: "U" in "huzzah" should be pronounced like short "oo" to be period correct xD
Duly noted.
Isn't the whole thing pronounced "Hoo-zay!"
