- This class by Georg Britzkow was given at the historical fencing gathering "Neujahrsfechten" at @GW-Holten and it was about the sabre or Haurappier of Bernhard Ignaz Montag from 1882.
Georg has talked about this system in an episode of "Cooler then Hutton" on @russmitchellmovement channel. Now you will see how the movements will look like.
Montag uses several volts (Volten) and non linear footwork for attack and defense.
The class focuses on ripostes after a high cut, if you need a more basic introduction have a look at his first class on the event also on this Channel:
• Sabre basics of Montag...
If you are interested in learning this style; after learning the Hau= Stoßfechten / cut and thrust fencing after F.C. Christmann at Anno 1838 in Hamburg he joined Hammaborg and teach Montags Neue Fechtschule on a regular base.
My dear Sir I enjoyed both the demonstration and lecture from the Master of Arms. It is a wonderful refresher course for an elderly gentleman. I eagerly await your next video lecture.
Hi Fred,
Glad you enjoied it!
I like the style of the system as a hybrid of modern and old at that time.
Thank's to Georg for the possiblity to upload it on my channel, I am also glad to help him to spread his favorite style! Win win 😉
I completely agree!
Many thanks for your kind words, maybe there will be a day or some time, in which I can step by and highjacks Olivers Club for a full grown session of Montag
German sources seem to vary alot like there is a lot less commonality among the various sources. I barely started looking into German sources like Berliner Turnschule, Montage, Fehn, and the French-pilled German sources like Christmann and Feldmann. Coming from mostly British sources mixed with a little French it's very different.
Yes, exactly.
And don't forget about the later Italien influence 🙃
But this is what I really liked about sabre in generall.
There is Longsword and in Germany it's obvious mostly Lichtenauer school and they all fence 'the same'. But s I started sabre there were like four other HEMA clubs around doing sabre which meet at various events and every Club fenced another system. Just awesome 🥰
Wunderbare Techniken, die man aus dem Messer oder - Horror! - aus dem langen Schwert kennt 😅
Schlimm nicht wahr 🙃
Und dann nennt er es auch noch "Neue Schule" 😄
Ich verrate euch mal ein Geheimnis: Geometrie ändert sich nie 😉
@@gorg57 ... aber Mode und Geschmack, sowohl was Waffen als auch Bewegungästhetik angeht 🙂
@@OliverJanseps das stimmt, nur Montag hatte eben zu seiner Zeit eine relativ neue Herangehensweise ans Fechten. Während andere Meister/Lehrer sich auf eine Zusammensetzung diverser Elemente konzentrierten hat Montag einen Bausatz geliefert, Grundsätze definiert (seine Beinarbeit) und der Kreativität des Anwenders freien Lauf gelassen
@@gorg57 du meinst alte 😉
Zeitgenossen würden sagen, dass er nicht präzise genug ist.
Ich mein wo kommen wir denn da hin, fechten gehört ordentlich eingepaukt 😎
Der Pennywagen hat es ins Video geschafft^^
Auf jeden Fall, das war der Eyecatcher 😎
Nicht nur Flachstahltangotänzer sondern auch Pennyfechter
