Sword & Buckler vs Sabre - Three different opponents vs Nick

This match up was requested recently, so here you go. We used three different opponents with sword and buckler to give a good range of technique and style. The buckler users sword is a Regenyei, and the sabre by Swordsmithy (of British Napoleonic Infantry officer style). Both weapons and buckler are of realistic original weight, size and handling. The military sabre did face sword and buckler plenty in the middle east, though of course the weapon and style would have been quite different, but nonetheless this was a fun pairing. From the sabre perspective it can simply be described as tough! In sabre there is an expectation that we can threaten a target and that someone must protect that target with their sword, or suffer dead or serious injury, but with the sword and buckler, they can cover that with one and strike with the other. Simply put, offhand weapons offer an excellent additional protection, whilst also freeing up the sword to do so much more. We had to change camera after the first fight due to battery, and it seems a little sweat got on the lens so it is a little hazy, sorry about that! Nick is using the sabre. In order the Sword and buckler users are Esther, Gareth and Malcolm.
