John Sullins in black vs David Achilleus in white. According to Acchilleus, "I am using Darkwood Armory's dueling sabre blade mounted by Dennis Graves to an old Parise style guard. Maestro Sullins' blade was a Schmidt mounted by Popinjay."

I liked this. It looked more "real" to me than the modern fencing. I guess it was because the blades appeared to have real weight to them. It slowed the actions and made the fencers more cautious, more like a duel.

That was actually enjoyable to watch. What's more, an audience could watch it and follow what was going on. Do you suppose that this form of sabre would be more "telegenic"?

It was certainly fun to watch for me.

This was recently posted to YouTube. It is a very brief clip of a classical sabre lesson. The instructor in black is Frank Lurz. The club is La Spada Nimica of Mill Valley, CA.
