Hungarian Hussar Sabre and Fokos Fencing: Austro-Hungarian Sabre Series Vol. 1

Hungarian Hussar Sabre and Fokos Fencing by Russ Mitchell, illustrated by Kat Laurange, is a heavily illustrated, step by step guide to Hungarian sabre fencing and the fokos, a traditional long handled axe used throughout Hungary and East Central Europe. The first volume in the Austro-Hungarian Military Sabre series, this book lays the foundation for the tradition explored further in later volumes.

Covering both fencing and teaching methodology, this guide walks students through fundamentals before building toward more advanced material, making it accessible for both independent study and instructors introducing the system to students.

A distinctive addition for sabre and polearm students interested in a weapon tradition, the fokos, rarely covered elsewhere in historical martial arts study.
