Polish Sabre Fencing and Daito Ryu

Preface:
Recently I`ve noticed strange book in bookstore near by my place.
Very expensive edition and absolutely tasteless cover , I picked it up `cause part of the title included - Art of Polish Sabre Fencing. However, next subtitle : " In Defense of the Gospel" hurts my eye, so I dropped it for few days...

In addition, I recall this author /Zbigniew Sawicki/ earlier book about TCMA, where he was wearing black pijama,
Anyway, I did brief reading -
and -
wow, he definitely did nice work in finding the historical sources, not only from the Polish side of blade.
Warning:
for Polish language readers - you need kinda of filter, for parts: pathetically, nationally written by the Author ,
or thesis like -Zawisza the Black as Miamoto Musaschi of the our ancient knights...
How good his MA really is - couldn`t say - never met him, maybe our Dacheng may chime in - his dojo is located close to the Mr Sawicki area.
Anyway, content of the book looks very interesting, and I would like put it on our board for discussion/verification .
so,
what we have there:
- straight sword to sabre evolution and comparison
- Polish Hussars sabre special design
- Katana and sabre duel
- etiquette
- rules of the techniques - here we can find specific famous >Polish cuts< like "catch eleven" for ex.
I will translate part of it later for our boards fencing lovers.
Today something for the Bodywork:
DaitoRyu meting with Polish Sabre.
From 17 to 19th of September 2010, took the place 2nd Word Scientific Congres of Combat Sports and M.A. organized and leads by Rzeszów University . During the demonstrations, presented there , Dr R.J. Maroteaux -president of World Takeda Ryu Marotokan Federation got the hang of the Polish hussar sabre fencing essence, and found in its technique similarities to the Japanese swordsmanship.
Dr Maroteaux decided to make comparative analysis of some chosen technique.
He published his consideration in number 55 of AikiGoshindo-Kaishi.
