September 24, 2022 to December 05, 2022

This is a Zoom clinic taught in 10 online sessions. The clinic will cover the contemporary system & environment of sabre use and the introduction of Patton’s sword, philosophy and training system. The course will also focus on how to teach George Patton's Point Fencing system. His training system is unique in that it is designed for use with either a sport sabre or the epee, ignores the cut with the sabre, and focuses on offence with the point. Patton’s works were the foundation for how US Army used the sword from 1915 until it was finally withdrawn from service starting in the mid-1930s.

Note: This course will start on September 24 instead of the original date of September 10. For more information about the class and registration, please email Rick Thompson at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
