A pioneer of modern fencing, Alfred Hutton was the first president
of the Amateur Fencing Association and a father of modern research
into the Western combat arts. In addition to his lectures about
ancient weapons and his demonstrations of their use, Hutton created
this 1889 classic, a continuing source of instruction and
enlightenment to modern readers.
The techniques associated with the sabre differ markedly from those
of the epee and the rapier. This study offers both technical and
historical views of the art of the sabre. It begins with a look at
the weapon's construction and its grip, followed by explanations of
a variety of different strokes and parries as well as methods of
combining attack and defense. Additional topics include approaches
suitable for left-handed fencers, ceremonial aspects of the art,
and contrasts between the sabre, the bayonet, and the French sword.
Descriptions of associated weapons cover the great stick and the
constable's truncheon, and the book concludes with considerations
of the short sword-bayonet, or dagger. Fifty-five illustrations
demonstrate how to hold the sabre, how to parry and guard, seizure,
and numerous other aspects of the art of fencing with a sabre.
