Cold Steel: The Art of Fencing with the Sabre

by

Cold Steel: The Art of Fencing with the Sabre Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The techniques associated with the sabre differ markedly from those of the épeé and the rapier. This 1889 classic by a pioneer of modern fencing offers both technical and historical views of the art of the sabre. Topics include a variety of different strokes and parries, methods of combining attack and defense, and associated weapons. 55 illustrations.

Synopsis:

Fencing with the sabre differs significantly from using an épée or rapier, and this book shows how. A combination of guidebook and history, it explains strokes and methods of combining attack and defense in a detailed, authoritative treatment that remains ever-relevant.
