The problem with this kind of fencing is that usually is attack over defence, or who hits first: in real life, you'd always put defence over attack as there is no benefit if you can hit your opponent and get hit in return. This completely changes the dynamic of the fight. Great example of sabre sword fighting can be seen in "Potop-The deluge" (1974) and in "The Duellists" (1977)

The thing about polish sabers is that they are actually cavalry weapons, they're a little long and heavy slightly hindering close in fighting, but great for reaching out and lopping off heads and limbs as you gallop by on horseback. I advise looking up "the deluge sword fight". It's a saber duel from an old polish movie and regarded as the closest to a real duel ever caught on film. It's carried out at full speed and at one point during filming an actor nearly died missing his parry.

@@56Seeker that's the thing though, they mostly fought from afar with ranged weapons(both bows and matchlocks/flintlocks) or acted as commanding officers in the back. When they did charge into battle on horseback, they used polearms most of the time as their sword was treated more as a sidearm and a weapon of last resort, like how a modern soldier carries a pistol. Swords weren't the main weapon of choice for the samurai so they never sought a need for a cavalry sword. The use of swords in feudal Japan were heavily romanticized by media as the weapon of the samurai when in reality, although used when needed, it was mostly just a badge of honor.

@@56SeekerTachi weigh the same as heavy cavalry sabers, about a kilo. Heavy for a one-handed sword on foot, but on horseback you want that extra reach and power. If you have to dismount and fight, using it 2-handed is much faster than 1 handed. Scholagladiatoria also recently made a video about using 2 handed weapons on horseback. As the japanese already knew how to use two handed weapons on horseback (bows, naginata, nodachi, spears) it's also totally possible for them in a cavalry vs cavalry situation to fight two handed with the sword, but you lose reach with this approach so it's not great for fighting infantrymen unless you have a really long weapon like a polearm or greatsword.

the most common things that carries over regardless of your sword technique(or martial arts) background is 1) distance management 2) timing 3) reading opponents movements. all those three are learned separately from stance and actual striking techniques and those three are learned through experience and sparring. that's why if you give an experienced fighter a different weapon, or a different ruleset (unarmed combat), it's really easy for them to make adjustments and adapt to their new context.

The reason saber isn’t as popular is because there aren’t as much historical manuals on it. In fact, most of them come from the 19th to 20th century when the saber was mostly a cavalry weapon and was being phased out in favor of firearms. If you really want to do saber, I suggest studying Meyer’s dussack manual, which is similar enough to saber.
@spanishinquisition7623

@@gamer7916 Absolutely not true. Unless are you referring specifically to early sabre sources such as polish sabre, it is the most well documented and arguably comprehensive style of swordsmanship to learn. The real reason it is not as popular is because the medieval period is more romanticized than the early modern era, so people tend to gravitate to longsword or even rapier but that's more renaissance than medieval. There are some of course more minor reasons as to why saber is also less popular but that's certainly the main one.

Before watching: Yes, he/she would be very comfortable with the blade weight and geometry, and would use it effectively without any additional instructions. However this will be more or less true depending on how often they've trained with one hand solo. Understanding how to use a particular blade and having the muscle memory to be effective are totally separate. The best sabre wielders would be less than impressive if you made them use a Tachi instead.

My understanding is that this style of sword came from Central Asia, and then spread to South Asia, the Slavic world, the caliphate and then to European officers by Napoleon who got it from Egypt (the kilij, shamsir, saber, Mameluke etc). And separately, it spread to the US Marines thru a gift from the ottomans to a Marine officer that made it the official sword. My question is, what is the big deal about this style sword that it was adopted by so many militaries, and why is it that other curved swords didn't spread like this? (Like the cutlass and messer).

There's a lot of reasons as to why it became so popular but from what I know the main ones are: -it's a one-handed sword so it can be carried with no problems -despite this it can generate a lot of power in the swing - has a greater range than many other swords But most importantly: -the basics are very easy to teach which is incredibly valuable when you need to train up a guy for war, so let's take a guy for example and call him Mr. Expendable. So mr. Expendable has never seen a sword in his life but the country needs him on the frontlines yesterday. You can teach mr. Expendable the basics of sabre fighting in less than a week and ship him out, and if he survives he can pick up some more skill. When time and effort is key for the functioning of the military, having a super simple, cheap and effective system that trains a soldier just enough to survive but still produces top-tier duellists with time is insanely valuable. That's why so many armies settled on using it -
