Continuing from our previous saber drill — after exploring the cut direct to flank and circular cut to the head, from engagement of first, we jumped into a simple option drill.

Cut flank if I go high or cut head if I cover low.

Our Sunday Saber squad working on a 2nd intentions exercise. A great tactic to use against an opponent who ripostes the same way every time.

Our class is in Sundays in Somerville at 11:30am.

This week our classical fencing team explored invitations in Italian saber.

They were asked, “When you take an invitation, how may your opponent attack? What’s your answer?”

Folks had a lot of room to explore and experiment. 🧵
