Обзор
The Flank Cut delivers a cutting attack to the side of the opponent's torso, targeting the area below the arm on either the left or right flank. [1] The flank cut requires an upward or lateral blade trajectory to reach the side of the body, making it biomechanically different from the head and chest cuts which travel in downward or horizontal arcs. [1],[2] The flank cut is one of the most difficult sabre attacks to defend because it targets a low area that requires the defender to drop their parry from the standard high guard position. [2],[3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Cutting, thrusting, or striking with a bladed weapon — edge alignment and trajectory determine cutting effectiveness
Joints Involved — Wrists (edge alignment and rotation), elbows (extension for thrusts, chambering for cuts), shoulders (arc of the cut), hips (power generation)
Force Vector — Varies — downward diagonal cut (kesa-giri), horizontal cut (yoko-giri), thrust (tsuki), or rising cut (kiri-age)
Weapon Mechanic — Edge alignment (hasuji) is critical — the blade must travel along its cutting plane for effective cuts
Позиция и вход
From en garde position — Establish distance, extend the blade toward the target with a lunge or advance-lunge, recover to guard
As riposte (counter-attack) — Parry the opponent's attack and immediately riposte with a thrust or cut to the exposed target
From distance (preparation) — Use blade work (beats, feints, engagements) to create an opening before the final attack
Варианты
Simple attack — single blade action (disengage, beat, or direct) to score
Compound attack — multiple blade actions (feint then disengage) to create an opening
Riposte — immediate counter after a successful parry
Counter-attack — attacking into the opponent's attack with priority or right-of-way

The flank cut in sabre sport represents a diagonal cutting action targeting the opponent's head or torso from an angled approach. Blood and Iron HEMA instructors Julien Schütze and Nicole Smith describe the technique as originating from high guard or other positions, executed with hands crossed and rotated to deliver a downward-diagonal strike. Schütze notes that while the cut can function as a counter-attack, its practical application proves challenging due to timing and positioning difficulties. He emphasizes that the flank cut achieves greatest success not as an isolated opening move, but rather as a follow-up to preceding actions—particularly after a thrust has been deflected, where transitioning from true edge to false edge creates a faster, more efficient cutting motion. Both instructors acknowledge that protective equipment significantly hampers the technique's execution in sparring, as arm guards and jackets restrict the diagonal trajectory necessary for effective delivery. Smith's solo drilling methodology, while focused on rapier, reinforces fundamental cutting principles applicable to sabre: maintaining proper stance, drawing through the cut for maximum effect, and combining cuts with other offensive actions. The instructors collectively present the flank cut as a transitional technique requiring situational awareness and predictive positioning rather than a straightforward primary attack.

Заметки по тренировке
✓The flank cut attacks the side of the opponent's torso — a horizontal or slightly upward cut targeting the area under the arm or the side of the body in sport sabre (Evangelista, The Art and Science of Fencing, 1996)
✓The flank cut exploits the gap between the arm and the body: when the opponent lifts their arm to parry or attack, the flank opens
✓The flank cut is delivered with a slightly upward trajectory: the blade sweeps from low to the side of the torso
✓The flank cut is the third primary sabre target: head, chest, and flank together cover the entire valid target area
✓Execution: from en garde, extend the arm and snap the blade upward and inward to contact the side of the opponent's torso
✓The flank cut is most effective as a compound attack: feint high, draw the opponent's guard up, then cut underneath to the exposed flank
✓In competition, the flank cut is less common but highly effective because fewer fencers train specific flank defence
Типичные ошибки
!Cutting at the hip instead of the flank — the valid target is above the waist; the flank is the side of the torso
!Using a downward cut for the flank — the flank cut typically uses an upward or horizontal trajectory
!Not timing the flank cut to the opponent's arm lift — the flank opens when the arm rises; cut at that moment
!Telegraphing the flank cut with an obvious low preparation — the cut should begin from the standard guard
!Cutting the arm on the way to the flank — while arm is valid, the flank cut should target the torso specifically
!Not extending the arm during the flank cut — right of way requires arm extension
!Using the flank cut as a primary attack — it is most effective as a second-intention attack after a high feint

Часто задаваемые вопросы
When is the flank cut most effective in a fight?
According to Blood and Iron HEMA, the flank cut is most successful when used to break through an opponent's line after they've committed to a counter-attack, rather than as a standalone opener on the open side.
How do I prevent my opponent from pushing me offline when using the flank cut?
Blood and Iron HEMA recommends rolling around your opponent's blade, stepping forward, and maintaining pressure to keep your point online—this prevents them from successfully pushing you offline regardless of how hard they press.
