British Military Sabre - Cutting with lunge

Having gotten the cuts out of the way, it’s important to start practicing the cuts and the mechanics of cutting with a lunge. This also serves as the basis for all the feint work that will follow, so although it’s very basic in principle, the goal is to get everyone to cut properly, making sure the arm goes first followed by the body, starting in a guard and ending in a guard. Keep in mind that in these videos we don’t go over the exercises we do in class but rather just the explanation of the content we cover.
