There are some neat ideas put out in this interview. I really like the Maestro that is conducting is the interview. Someone I would love to train with as a coach and as a fencer.

Nice blog about the style of sabre we are working on.

Join us for an eye opening ramble through a world of duelling, hi-jinks and challenging morality with Italy's oldest practicing fencing master. An interview wit...h Maestro Paolo Cazzato is a fascinating insight into the world of fencing in the early 20th century. If you watched our ten part YouTube mini-series on Achille Marozzo’s Spada a Due Mani, you may recall it ending in a decision. With my school closed due to a global pandemic, I would seek out help along the way to deepening my understanding of swordsmanship and becoming a better teacher. This is the first such video.
