19th Century Sabre: Understanding Feints

This video draws on fencing experience as well as lessons from 19th century british sabre and backsword sources (Chiefly Waite, though applicable to Hutton, with some consideration for Roworth) to investigate the mechanics behind feints, and considerations for making them more effective in daily fencing practice. Also; you might notice that I’ve been practicing a lot of sidesword recently based on the body lean and knee bend in some of the video. :-/
