Fencing in Moscow - an overview of various areas

Today in Moscow there has been a fairly significant layer of various fencing schools in a variety of areas.

The bulk of fencing schools in Moscow today are clubs and knife fighting schools. In general, this is understandable. Knife fighting itself is one of the most popular areas of fencing, in demand at the everyday level.

Everyone wants to be able to wield a knife. Everyone cherishes the dream of luring a gopnik into a knife in a dark alley, but someone also cherishes the dream of luring a decent citizen and his “sworn friend” into a knife; by the way, there are quite a few of them. They all go to knife fighting schools. The main schools of knife fighting in Moscow are, in fact, descendants of hand-to-hand combat.

That is, their technique is just a modernized version of hand-to-hand combat, when instead of a fist or a boxing glove, you have
knife in hand What does this mean? Here's what. It's no secret to experts that hand-to-hand combat and fighting with a knife are very different things. Different in everything, in the stance, in the striking technique, in the muscles involved during the strike, in the movements, in the ideology of the fight, finally. What is acceptable for hand-to-hand combat is completely unacceptable for knife combat. Knife fighting requires one precise blow. This is an axiom.

If you run up and try to stab a person with a dozen blows, then you are almost 100% guaranteed to receive at least one blow in return. And the problem with a knife is that even one missed blow can often be fatal. Consequently, the basis of knife fighting is instant entry, defeat, and no less instant exit; everything else is nonsense, leading to mutual defeat, which is not only undesirable, but like death in the most literal sense.

Katana Club adheres to the technique of pure defeat only, with maximum safety for ourselves - this is why we are strikingly different from other knife fighting schools in Moscow, and in general from fencing schools in Moscow.


The second point, or rather the curse of knife fighting in Moscow, is tournaments.

That is, like all stupidity, they were conceived as a test of the strength and dexterity of the participants, and like all stupidity, after a couple of years they reached the apogee of stupidity. Their rules are designed for a tournament, and not for a real fight on the street, which instructors usually talk about beautifully, luring newcomers.

It is no secret that the rules of tournaments are as far from real combat as Jupiter is from Earth. Tournament rules for most clubs in general
they welcome punches and kicks, although in a real knife fight on the street this almost never happens, and the one who foolishly waved his leg gets a guaranteed blow with a knife and loses the fight and often his life.

The tournament rules develop a complete lack of fear of the enemy’s blade to the point of stupidity - well, of course, this is just an imitation of what they are afraid of. As a result, people climb onto the blade without understanding the ford, receive multiple blows and strike themselves, not realizing that in a real battle these are two corpses that have fallen away from each other with holes in their belly.


Another point is the training weapon itself. Short wooden blunt imitations.

This type of training equipment is common in most clubs in Moscow. Why is this bad? Well, first of all, weight and length. The piece of wood is very short and light. If you make it larger, you will need more serious, MUCH more serious protection than just a fencing mask. These are unnecessary expenses not only for participants, but also for clubs, including for the safety of classes. Heavy and long wooden weapons can easily kill. In a very real sense, I'm not kidding. Or brutally maim. Even the weapons that are usually available are a danger to the enemy if the neck, abdomen, or hands are hit if they are poorly protected. Up to and including death. If you hit the liver or spleen with all your might with a blunt piece of wood, you certainly won’t pierce a person.

But, in addition to a hefty hematoma, he can get a rupture internal organs And

Die from severe blood loss before the end of the workout. Especially considering that, out of pure bragging, 90% of the participants do not wear protective vests. This is on the one hand. That's enough

It is a common practice to weaken the blow at the end point, so as not to inadvertently receive a load of 200 and a decent sentence in prison.

On the other hand, the low weight and size do not allow you to properly train your hand when training with such a weapon. Some techniques cannot be trained at all with a low knife weight, for example fast strikes by hand. A knife of such a weight distribution and such a weight does not fly forward, although even when picking up an ordinary one
folding knife you get a completely different picture.

Katana Club uses in its training and sparring non-traumatic weight and dimensions of real knives, heavy - from 200 - 250 grams or more, for example Raja 2 or Ontario. Our simulations do not cause injury, although it is quite possible to get bruised fingers if you come to sparring without gloves. All sparring participants must have protective helmets that protect against concussion and reliably cover their faces and gloves. In addition, women are advised to wear bibs to avoid chest injuries.

This Katana Club approach to training makes it possible not to weaken the blow at its extreme point, for fear of injuring a person, but to deliver it with full force. This forms a reflex in a person to ALWAYS hit exactly like that, hard and brutally, without allowing any missed blows. Secondly, real weight distribution allows you to deliver fast, accurate and powerful blows, in contrast to a light wooden imitation.

Another direction of fencing in Moscow, quite popular, is dueling fencing. Here the choice of clubs and schools and areas is very wide. From fencing with two-handed swords, from sabers and broadswords to


Heavy historical swords. They all have one thing in common - they are usually weapons made of textolite, weighing more than 1.1 kg, although sometimes there are clubs fencing with steel blades.

The main difference between this direction is its extreme risk of injury. A textolite blade, unlike a steel blade, is practically
doesn't bend. They usually hit them with full force and with all their might. This type of fencing requires you to have quite expensive protective armor, a modernized fencing mask, because if you receive a direct blow to the face in a standard sports fencing mask, the consequence is a cut in the face and a broken nose, it’s good if it’s broken so that it can be put back together.

However, protection does not guarantee against minor injuries, such as broken fingers, bruises from injections, joint injuries, etc.

One of the most unpleasant phenomena in dueling fencing is its terrible isolation from real life. Tournaments that are held for points do not provide any skills in real combat; moreover, they dilute this skill in a person. In general, everyone knows that the weapon is not real, the blows are not lethal, and in order to earn points, they climb without looking at the enemy blade. The same picture is repeated as in a knife fight. Even worse. Moreover, the practice that has developed in dueling fencing brings almost nothing from sport fencing, but in vain, in sports fencing, despite all its embodiment, there is something to learn.

In its training, Katana Club takes the best from sports fencing; we try to study the techniques of sports fencing masters and thoughtfully transfer them to heavier weapons.

Fencing in aikido, kendo and other training in techniques with a katana stands out.


Unfortunately, today's kendo is very far removed from real combat fencing. It contains a number of techniques - for example, prohibited

Stabbing blows to the face, no way to retreat during a fight, and much more. Things are not much better in Aikido.

From his original version- fighting with a sword, today's Aikido is as far as heaven from earth. Not to mention that sparring with a sword is not practiced in modern aikido. In addition, all these schools do not teach combat with different weapons, developing techniques only for a two-handed sword - a katana, and leaving aside techniques with a short sword and a knife.

Another problem is the armor for the same kendo. The cost is very high, so today it is a sport for very wealthy people.

In its practice, Katana Club focuses on a thorough study of the practices of oriental martial arts, with different weapons, both two-handed and one-handed, short and long, unifying and modernizing the classics of sword fighting. Katana Club brings into it elements from sports fencing, which, by the way, have never been used in classical Japanese martial art, but which are most effective.

Another area is re-enactment fencing in Moscow. The undoubted advantage of this fencing is its historical surroundings. There are quite a lot of disadvantages.


Firstly, these are quite strict restrictions on the types of strikes, weapons, and fencing techniques at buhurts (exhibition battles such as a knight's tournament). For example, piercing blows are prohibited on steel weapons, even with blunt blades, for fear of inflicting cruel
injure, maim or even kill participants.

Secondly, there is an extremely high risk of injury. The blades are generally dull, but they hit with all their hearts, so steel armor often does not save them. Often someone suffers injuries that incapacitate them for many weeks. Thirdly, there is even greater isolation from life than dueling fencing. Well, will you ever meet a person dressed in heavy armor in your life?

In contrast to these areas, Katana Club, as a fencing school in Moscow, teaches its students such techniques and blows that, when aimed at an unarmored enemy, are completely universal - it doesn’t matter what weapon you have in your hands - a stick, a sword, a machete, knife, saber, broadsword or tourist hatchet.

You can successfully defend yourself with ANY weapon. Secondly, all our techniques are applicable for self-defense, and include all
an arsenal of blows - both chopping and piercing. The versatility of muscle movements develops the ability to use any object as a weapon of self-defense. Our techniques are not pretentious or artificial, which, for example, is often the case with dueling fencing, we use the maximum effective techniques combining both sports fencing, historical techniques, and techniques from eastern fencing schools, including the classics.

At Katana Club you can learn as much as possible effective style combat, with different weapons and without separately retraining the techniques of knife fighting, fighting with a machete or sword - both two-handed and one-handed. After training at the Katana Club, any item will become a weapon for you, any item in your hands will help you defend yourself on the street.

We visit group classes with Mikhail Andreevich, everything is fine. On individual sessions It was inconvenient for us to go, so we go to group ones. Since fencing is a sport that you cannot learn quickly, I will not talk about the results. In general, I am satisfied with the way the specialist communicates with children and the way they enjoy studying.

My impressions of working with the trainer are extremely positive. I’ve been training with him at the Moscow Kodokan martial arts center for more than a month now and I’m happy with almost everything. Roman Viktorovich is extremely pedantic when it comes to setting up equipment and devotes a lot of time to beginners, working through all aspects down to the smallest detail. He starts with the very basics and doesn’t let you move to the next “step” until you complete everything basic exercises excellently. On the one hand, this approach may seem overly pedantic and even bring down the arrogance of an ambitious beginner, but you very quickly understand that this is how you can understand the fundamental principles of the martial arts you are studying, and not just learn how to fight well. I am also pleased with the small size of the group, which, in fact, allows the coach to pay enough attention to everyone. Among the shortcomings, I can only note the specifics of the hall, which was originally intended for karate, and not boxing. There is only one punching bag, and you have to practice barefoot on the tatami. However, the lack of pears is successfully compensated by the abundance of pair work and physical exercise, and tatami is easy to get used to.

I am 26 years old. I am not physically fit; I have never practiced such martial arts before. Once, I tried to take up this type of martial arts (hand-to-hand combat). I came to the section, without talking for a long time (because there was no time for talking - there were a lot of people), they put me in sparring with a fairly experienced partner, who mistook me for a punching bag and “marked” me in full. On this coaching work ended. I realized that it was more of a coaching club for improving already trained athletes. I had to start from the basics. Therefore, on the recommendation of experienced people, I turned to Marshall with a request to take up my training in martial arts. Here, I met a complete understanding of how to structure classes with beginners like me. The main attention was paid to the issue of technique and techniques used in martial arts. Most importantly, he took into account my peculiarity - weak physical training and other individual characteristics, patiently explaining and correcting my mistakes. From the very first lessons I learned a lot about the technique of defense and striking. This gave me confidence in my abilities and I believed in myself, which was not the case before. For all this I am very grateful to him and I consider him a very good, thoughtful coach, capable of teaching martial arts to any beginner (even someone like me - I’m a “nerd” :-))

Fencing- this is the ability to inflict injections through attacks and defenses at certain moments of the battle, using one’s intelligence. A fencing match is very similar to a battle: it involves maneuvering, reconnaissance and camouflage, attack and defense.
