  • 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.

  • 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
    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.
