Hungarian sabre and classical Hungarian sabre fencing along with the traditions associated with them is a national value worth preserving and nurturing, as they have always been a part of Hungarian cultural, historical, and sports heritage. These traditions have created a system of values that can unite a nation for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabre was one of the most important items in the lives of Hungarians conquering the Carpathian Basin in the 9th century. Its unique look and use made it one of the most efficient ancient weapons and an important symbol of Hungarian identity. Sabres in Hungary have been used throughout the ages, especially in P\u00e9cs, by valiant soldiers defending the borders from the Turks, by Hungarian hussars, modern soldiers and fencing masters. The reputation and the art of sabre use have always been world famous due to the skills needed for efficient use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hungarian Sabre Fencing Association has established schools in six countries, as well as in every county seat and bigger city in Hungary. The P\u00e9cs Sabre Fencing School was (re)established after the new Millennium (in 2012) in an effort to preserve the traditions of the Cadet School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They appear at local events commemorating historical events or traditions where they perform sabre demonstrations or display a commemorative wreath, making the cultural life of P\u00e9cs more colourful. Members of the P\u00e9cs School often visit PE or history lessons in schools to teach children and to strengthen their national identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several world-famous fencing Olympic champions and world champions such as Gy\u00f6rgy Piller and \u00d6d\u00f6n Terszty\u00e1nszky graduated from the P\u00e9cs Cadet School that was located at site of the Medical School of the University of P\u00e9cs where sabre fencers today have displayed commemorative plaques in honour of famous fencing masters. The members of the P\u00e9cs Sabre Fencing School spread the good reputation of P\u00e9cs and impart to citizens (especially to youngsters) the ancient art of fencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditions of ancient sabre fencing are preserved by the Hungarian Sabre Fencing Association in Hungary and by the Sabre Fencing School in P\u00e9cs headed by Imre Balogh where dozens of youngsters are being taught the basics of traditional Hungarian fencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
