Basic Hands

Your technique may be different, but we start right flat with the sabre in front of your waist, hilt to the left and right hand on the end tape. The left hand rests on the top of the hilt with the wrist in motorcycle style (wrist lifted up, not broken). Right hand is pinching the sabre at bottom tape. Always pinch with sabre, never wrap your thumb. The thumb should be pressed flat against the side of the blade. Doing this will actually help you to keep the sabre from wobbling and give you more control.

Body is at attention with feet in turned out second. Don't look at your hands!
