About Russ Mitchell: Historical Fencer, Movement Expert

Winged Sabre Historical Fencing is a historical fencing school in Irving, TX. We are a small school specialized in helping non-athletes (or prior athletes) to discover how to move well while whacking our SwordFriends(tm) for fun and more fun.

Our Curriculum! We teach the use of swords, sabres, axes, and weaponry from French Martial Arts (including, but not limited to, cane and grand baton). Instruction has a very heavy emphasis on learning how to move well, so that you can enjoy maximum performance with minimum strain.

This channel was created at the request of students who wanted a handy visual reference for techniques, and in order to help us make new SwordFriends to trade whacks with. Come fence with us! We routinely help long-distance students as well, so if you have questions or constructive commentary, please feel free to ask and/or jabber away below. :)
