This book teaches the NEW saber! It has been more than 75 years since an English-language book devoted to saber last appeared. Those were the days of men-only, visually judged saber, and the US didn't stand a chance. Since then, saber has been revolutionized. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics: the U.S. women swept the individual saber medals and took bronze as a team; the U.S. men took team silver. The fencing was not just electronically scored the referees watched the slow-motion video replay to decide close calls. The world of saber has changed, and it needs this book! Modern Saber Fencing is the first book to explain and teach the new saber from the ground up. It illustrates the new techniques with over 75 photo illustrations. It shows the technical and tactical adjustments that transformed classical saber. It explains how to train for the new saber. PLUS it presents the scientific research that underlies the latest training methods.

First published in 1948, Modern Fencing was used to train generations of fencing students at the U.S. Naval Academy. It is unique among fencing manuals because it contains separate lessons in all three weapons-the foil, épée and sabre-rather than just one. Modern Fencing is still considered one of the best fencing manuals ever written and is often cited by modern fencing masters for its concise lessons and excellent photos. This edition has over 80 digitally restored photographs and clear and concise instructions for fencers of any level.

Sabre fencing is one of the oldest extant sports, a direct descendent of European sword combat, and a part of the modern Olympic Games since their inception in 1896. The sport has changed dramatically over the centuries, as the sabre and its fencers have evolved to adapt to new situations, tactics, and strategies. But its core, sabre fencing remains the same: a simulation of lethal combat at close quarters.This book is about the principles of how to fence sabre in 2020. It is about how fencers think and fight, how their coaches teach them to do this, and how the modern sport and its rules have come to be the way they are. I write about the myths that continue to shape those who fence and teach sabre, often to their personal detriment. Against this background, I describe the biomechanics and tricks that enable fencers to move and react almost superhumanly fast.Most of all, this book is a story about a venerable game of swords that masquerades as a sport, but used to be combat skill, and now acts as a martial art. Around this main story are the stories of those who have dedicated the better part of their lives to this pursuit, and who were kind enough to teach its secrets to me: a man who took up the sabre as an adult, fenced for his country, and ultimately started a club dedicated to teaching people of any age or fitness to fence sabre well.
