The sabre school of Count Michał Starzewski as a reflection of Polish fencing traditions
Journal Title: Journal of Combat Sports and Martial Arts - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The Polish sabre fencing tradition has been a widely researched area in Poland but it remains largely unknown abroad. Sabre fencing has been mentioned in numerous classic works of Polish literature and it constituted an important aspect of Polish national identity at the time of the country’s partition (1795-1918). Although influenced by the Italian, French and German schools of fencing the Polish sabre fencing tradition retained for decades its specific techniques, rules and terminology. In 1830 Count Michał Starzewski wrote the most famous Polish fencing treatise which captured all the characteristic tenets of the Polish sabre fencing culture. This unique work published one hundred years later by Starzewski’s grandson provides a fascinating insight into Polish traditional fencing, its historical and cultural contexts as well as its legacy today.
