Fencing of the Saber by Federico Gerona y Ense–at is a direct glimpse into yet another Spanish saber system from the second half of the 19th century. The author is quite easy to follow and this is perhaps the most direct and straight forward Spanish saber manual yet to be translated. Gerona's system uses six simple blows and six simple parries. He combines these to make compound actions and gives us advice throughout the book on what works and how to avoid double hits. There are 19 plates throughout the book that illustrate nicely the details of the system. If you are looking for an easy and effective Spanish saber system to study and follow, this is the one for you.
