  • Swordsmanship and Sabre in Fribourg
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Hands-on section, articles 103 Hands-on section, articles Sweat and Blood: Swordsmanship and sabre in Fribourg Mathijs Roelofsen, PhD Student, University of Bern [email protected], and Dimitri Zufferey, Independant Researcher, GAFSchola Fribourg, [email protected] Abstract – Following a long mercenary tradition, Switzerland had to build in the 19th century its own military tradition. In Cantons that have provided many officers and soldiers in the European Foreign Service, the French military influence remained strong. This article aims to analyze the development of sabre fencing in the canton of Fribourg (and its French influence) through the manuals of a former mercenary (Joseph Bonivini), a fencing master in the federal troops (Joseph Tinguely), and an officer who became later a gymnastics teacher (Léon Galley). These fencing manuals all address the recourse to fencing as physical training and gymnastic exercise, and not just as a combat system in a warlike context. Keywords – Sabre, Fribourg, Valais, Switzerland, fencing, contre-pointe, bayonet I. INTRODUCTION In military history, the Swiss are known for having offered military service as mercenaries over a long time period. In the 19th century, this system was however progressively abandoned, while the country was creating its own national army from the local militias. The history of 19th century martial practices in Switzerland did not yet get much attention from historians and other researchers. This short essay is thus a first attempt to set some elements about fencing in Switzerland at that time, focusing on some fencing masters from one Swiss Canton (Fribourg) through biographical elements and fencing manuals.

  • USA Fencing Rules for Competition Ii Version 6/1/18 Preface
    FENCING RULES June 2018 Foreword This American Version of the international rules governing fencing competitions is translated and adapted from the 2001 French edition published by the FIE and incorporates changes made by the FIE Congresses and adopted by the USA Fencing Board of Directors through August 2016. Unless otherwise noted here or in the USA Fencing Operations Manual, these rules apply to fencing competitions in the United States. The publication in electronic format with year and revision dating at the bottom of each page is intended to simplify the incorporation of future changes to the rules. Updates to the rules will be made available as approved on the Fencing Officials Commission website. The United States Fencing Association, Inc. doing business as USA Fencing (founded as the Amateur Fencers League of America in 1891) is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization primarily engaged in increasing participation in the sport of fencing. Membership in USA Fencing, in an appropriate category, is open to anyone who has an interest in fencing. USA Fencing is the official governing body for amateur fencing activities in the United States, and is so recognized by the Unites States Olympic Committee and the International Fencing Federation (FIE). Accordingly, the authority to enact, amend, and repeal the rules governing amateur fencing in the United States rests solely with the Board of Directors of USA Fencing. As a matter of policy, USA Fencing normally follows the technical rules enacted for the sport by the FIE, with occasional minor exceptions that are duly announced. The rules for fencing, as set forth in this book, therefore apply to all USA Fencing championships and nationally-rated competitions, and, unless exceptions have been announced in advance by the appropriate authorities, apply also to all events scheduled by any Section or Division of USA Fencing, or held under USA Fencing auspices.

  • Introduction to Rapier
    INTRODUCTION TO RAPIER Based on the teachings of Ridolfo Capo Ferro, in his treatise first published in 1610. A WORKBOOK By Nick Thomas Instructor and co-founder of the © 2016 Academy of Historical Fencing Version 1 Introduction The rapier is the iconic sword of the renaissance, but it is often misunderstood due to poor representation in popular culture. The reality of the rapier is that it was a brutal and efficient killer. So much so that in Britain it was often considered a bullies or murderers weapon. Because to use a rapier against a person is to attempt to kill them, and not just defend oneself. A result of the heavy emphasis on point work and the horrendous internal damage that such thrust work inflicts. Rapier teachings were first brought to Britain in the 1570’s, and soon became the dominant weapon for civilian wear. Of course many weapons that were not so different were also used in the military, featuring the same guards and slightly lighter and broader blades. The rapier was very commonly used with offhand weapons, and Capo Ferro covers a range of them. However for this work book, we will focus on single sword, which is the foundation of the system. This class is brought to you by the Academy of Historical Fencing (UK) www.historicalfencing.co.uk If you have any questions about the class or fencing practice in general, feel free to contact us – [email protected] Overview of the weapon The First thing to accept as someone who already studies one form or another of European swordsmanship, is that you should not treat the rapier as something alien to you.

  • Grosvenor Coaches Notes: Fencing Grade 1 Foil
    ACHIEVEMENT AWARD NOTES The Grip The sword may be held in any way so long as it is not used as a throwing weapon. There are countless varieties of sword handles in fencing. The main two categories of grip are French and Pistol – both involve slightly different styles of play, but world champions have used both. However, the conventional way of holding the foil is to grip the hilt between the thumb and forefinger and use the remaining three fingers as aids to control the movement of the blade. The thumb should be on top and in line with the blade. The pommel should be held against the wrist in the on-guard position. In the on-guard position the sword should be held such that there is a straight line from the elbow, through the thumb to the point. The elevation of the sword is adjusted by bending from the elbow (not the wrist). As stated, this is the conventional way of holding the sword but it is not mandatory and other methods can be used so long as they do not break the basic FIE rules. The conventional grip is recommended when learning how to fence, until a personal style is developed. The choice of grip is a question of personal preference for each foilist or epeeists. French grip Pistol grip The foil: It is a light, flexible weapon weighing fewer than 500 g. The blade is rectangular or square in section and must not be more than 90 cm long. The overall length of the weapon must not exceed 110 cm.

  • The Art of Defence on Foot with the Broad Sword and Sabre
    THE ART OF DEFENCE ON FOOT WITH THE BROAD SWORD AND SABRE FOURTH EDITION BY CHARLES ROWORTH 1824 TRANSCRIBED. RESTORED AND INTRODUCED BY NICK THOMAS INSTRUCTOR AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE ACADEMY OF HISTORICAL FENCING (UK) Presented below is a complete reconstruction of the fourth edition of Charles Roworth's 'Art of Defence', or AOD as it is sometimes now known. The AOD is one of the most important references on British swordsmanship on foot in the Napoleonic period, The British army did not adopt an official infantry sword system until after war's end. However, when they did, it was based on this style depicted by Charles Roworth, as well as Henry Angelo Senior, whose son created the official system in 1817, based firmly on his father’s methods. Despite not being an official system, these 'broadsword' methods were widespread throughout the 18th century. In the case of Roworth's AOD manual, it was recommended for purchase and use by British officers in many publications of the time. They are also well referenced to have been taught in many military units. Roworth's manuals give the most in-depth insight into infantry sword combat in this period, and likely served as the basis of sword training for many in the army and militia of the day. As well as a method for those elsewhere, such as in America, where this edition was published. The Art of Defence was first published in 1798. This second edition was also published in the same year, and though very similar, it features a number of changes to both text and illustration.
