That's how I learned :-) My teacher was Imre Hennyey who was on the Hungarian Olympic team in 1948 and 1952. He also coached the Canadian Olympic team in the 1960's.

What a marvellous piece of history! So much of it still accurate and useful. Thank you for posting!

Beautiful, thank you for uploading! It's a true pleasure to see this!

I train historical fencing (smallsword, sabre) that's based on the teachings of some extremely old dude who dueled between the wars and passed his knowledge in the 90' + some experimentation and it's more or less what we do (except of the rised off hand). Without the electric system and penalized double hits that's the most reasonable way to do it.

It’s cool to see how much fencing evolved

Amazing. Is there sabre stuff like this too?

So beautiful…

Great find! thank you for sharing! Is there a saber version of this video?

i will copy the move @05:44 to greet my partner. its pure elegance. @06:35 at reversing the lunge the arm should kept forward to keep the concpet "cone of steel" via handguard. it was the masters last check if we see it ;)

7:50 🥇 8:00 🥈 7:32 💩

Too bad fencing isn't like that anymore

10:28 and following. Ouch. "Sixté"? It's just "sixte" ; there's no accent. "Secondé"? same thing; It's pronounced "Segond" in French. "Quarté"? Nope.
