British Military Sabre Instruction - Cut 3 and 4 

Happy you like it. Cuts 3 and 4 for me are also very easy, and for some people some cuts will come more naturally than others even if you're working against gravity (think of smallsword and rapier, how some people have a natural tendency to go nails up or nails down depending on their own anatomy). Yes it does require some conditioning and some wrist strenghth (I'll cover the 6 cut cutting drill in a future video). So there's a lot to dissect on that last comment there. Remember the 1796 was not meant to be used on foot but rather on horseback, and although a horseman is also expected to fend for his life on foot, the sheer weight and balance of an LC would naturally force the use or more than just the wrist (iirc it does have the nickname of wrist breaker for a reason). Radaelli/Del Frate and to some extent Merelo all use a very different kind of sabre that can be lighter in some instances more than others, but the nature of the system does enforce cutting from the elbow instead of the wrist so they do have a benefit to some extent. I do have a video of going up against someone doing Radaelli and you can see how I barely adjust from my Roworth background seeing as cutting from the wrist comes much more naturally and end up exposing less of myself when cutting, granted I was tired after a full day of sparring so I do make plenty of mistakes there. - Rui
