| Publisher Description: Where did Italo-Hungarian sabre fencing come from? It's not JUST Barbasetti...The Hungarians dominated Olympic sabre fencing for the majority of the 20th century. It is well-known that Radaelli's northern-Italian lineage became dominant in Austro-Hungarian fencing, under the immensely skilled tutelage of Barbasetti (and later, the Santellis). But little has been said about the Hungarian fencing-masters themselves and how they adapted the Radaellian sabre lineage to fit their own ideas. For the first time, the sabre fencing manual of K roly Lesz k, primary sabre instructor at the prestigious Ludovica Military Academy, is made available in English. A must-read for historical fencers wishing to understand the evolution of Italo-Hungarian fencing, and for modern Olympic fencers curious where their methods come from. |
