Synopsis

First published in 1889, this study sets out the distinctive techniques of the sabre and how they differ from the épeé and the rapier. Hutton, a pioneer of modern fencing, brings together technical instruction with a historical perspective, creating a rounded view of the art.

Coverage includes a range of strokes and parries, ways of combining attack and defence, and discussion of associated weapons. With 55 illustrations, it is suited to readers looking for a detailed, historically informed approach to sabre fencing.
