This video is inspired by the video posted by @russmitchellmovement, 'Friends don't let friends fence 'Cold Steel', and addresses the criticisms of Hutton's guards in that video, as well as some generalised criticisms of Hutton's guards. It is not intended as a statement that Cold Steel is the best of fencing texts, it's fine without being marvelous, so the video purely addresses the statements in the original video. Original Video: Books referenced: Cold Steel (1889), Alfred Hutton Sabre Fencing (1906) Károly Leszák (translated by Russ Mitchell) Fencing Manual (1877), Ministry of War (translated by Chris Slee) Foil and Sabre (1892) Louis Rondelle Lessons in sabre, singlestick, sabre & bayonet, and sword feats (1880) John Musgrave Waite
