SIENIAWSKI FENCING is a channel dedicated to Polish swordsmanship called "Sztuka Krzyżowa". We are athletes whose passion is the noble art of fencing.

SZTUKA KRZYŻOWA (Cross-Cutting Art)
"Poles became so incredibly skilled at fencing with a curved saber that no other nation could match them in this art. They called it the cross-cutting art because cuts and parries were formed in the shape of the cross."

In old Poland, swordmanship was started at the age of six. At that time (XVI, XVII and XVIII century) traditional stick fighting (gra w palcaty) was the most common form of physical activity. This custom was supported by the Polish seyms recommending this type of duels as part of the military education of young people.
