A practical manual for Hungarian sabre and fokos fencing

Kat Laurange’s illustrated manual combines instruction in Hungarian sabre fencing with guidance for teaching it. The material ranges from stance and tactics to synoptic tables and ways to address students’ difficulties. It also covers the fokos, a long-handled axe associated with Hungary and East-Central Europe. Translated comparisons place the fencing lineage described in the book alongside other Hungarian methods and those taught at the Wiener-Neustadt cadet school, spanning the mid-to-late nineteenth century through World War I. The book’s scope therefore joins hands-on technique and teaching support with historical comparison.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking step-by-step instruction in Hungarian sabre fencing
  • Fencing instructors looking for teaching guidance and troubleshooting material
  • Readers interested in the fokos and historical fencing methods in Hungary and Central Europe

Book overview

This is a heavily-illustrated, step-by-step guide for how to fence -- and how to teach! -- Hungarian sabre fencing, as well as how to use the "fokos," or long-handled axe traditional to Hungary and East-Central Europe. It covers everything from basic stance work and tactics to complete synoptic tables and how to troubleshoot students who are having difficulty with the material. The manual also provides translated comparative material in order to demonstrate how the lineage the author learned is -- and is not -- like other methods of fencing taught in Hungary and at the Wiener-Neustadt cadet school in the mid-to-late 19th century up through World War One.
