  • 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.

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2016 Championship 2 History 4 All-Time Team Results 8 2016 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Columbia takes home second straight title: The final day of action at the 2016 NCAA National Collegiate Fencing Championships, held at Brandeis, saw three repeat winners. Two individuals achieved the feat, while Columbia was crowned the team champions for the second year running. The Lions took a 13-point lead into the day, and though it closed to double digits at certain points throughout the day, the repeat was not really in question. Columbia finished with a seven-point victory, 174-167, over Ohio State, thanks to a balanced attack that saw them score 30 points in three of the six weapons and not less than 24 in any of them. “To come out ahead shows what a great group of individuals we have on our team,” Columbia coach Michael Aufrichtig said. “Other than all the practices and workouts and all the preparation, one of the main things it came down to is their heart, their love for each other. So when they’re out there on the strip, they’re fencing for not just themselves but for their entire team.” Columbia is the first repeat NCAA Fencing champion since Penn State in 2009 and 2010. It’s the Lions’ fourth overall combined title since the championship went to this format in 1990. They also won back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. Ohio State finished in second place despite qualifying one less than the maximum 12 qualifiers for the championship.

  • 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.

    Elementary Treaty on the Destreza of the Sabre Author: Simón de Frías Translator: Jamie MacIver Version: Draft v.0.1.2 Translator’s Note & Copyright This translation may be distributed freely but not reproduced without consent of the author. It is released as a draft work-in-progress for comment. Translation ELEMENTARY TREATY ON THE DESTREZA OF THE SABRE COMPOSED BY DON SIMÓN DE FRÍAS MASTER OF ALL ARMS EXAMINED, APROVED AND CERTIFIED BY THE SUPERIOR GOVERNMENT OF NEW SPAIN MEXICO: IN THE PRINTER OF ARIEPE IN THE YEAR 1809 WITH LICENCE TO MY STUDENTS GENTLEMEN The reasons that often tend to stimulate those A.A. for the dedication of their works are either the fear of scathing criticism or the desire of some high protection for particular ends. However, I can surely pride myself to have abandoned such a trite path. For, moved on the one hand by gratitude, and stimulated on the other by the cordial affection that I profess for all of you, I enjoy the sweetest satisfaction to have the first opportunity to express my gratitude, friendship, and affection publicly, and I wish to prove with this small gift that I will always be your most affectionate and humble servant. Q. SS. M. B. Simón de Frías Introduction of the Treatise Self-preservation by the means of defence is so natural that it is shown to us even by the actions of brutes born only with instinct (or as some authors would say: with imperfect rationality). Why then does man, gifted with the most perfect and sublime and who’s existence is in higher esteem than any other being, not have to shine and polish his superior intelligence in honour of the divine Omnipotence that deigned to grant it to him, and in aid of his own conservation exceed his natural character and ward off the causes of his destruction? There is no nobler objective than the defence of life, country and honour.

[MUSIC PLAYING] CARL NATHY: Hello, and welcome to the Behind the Blue podcast. I'm Carl Nathy, pleased to be joined in this interview by Lee Kiefer. Lee has just finished her second year of medical school at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. She grew up in Lexington, and she has some very interesting things going on in her life, including being a two time Olympic. I said, yes, summer Olympics, as in London 2012, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. And she is aiming to compete in the summer 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Lee thanks for taking the time, and welcome in. LEE KIEFER: Thank you for having me. Happy to be here. CARL NATHY: You have a fascinating background. Tell us a little bit. You grew up in Lexington, and grew up in a family that had both fencing in the family and medical education in the family. LEE KIEFER: Yes. Fencing and medicine is all I've ever known since I was born, it seems like. Growing up, my dad, who is a physician, he decided that he wanted to try fencing. He hadn't picked up a foil, let's say, in 10, 15 years. And me and my siblings watched him compete at a local tournament. And then he asked if we wanted to try it. We said yes, and then almost 20 years later, I'm still here.
