Hungarian Conservative

Among the world’s historical weapons, the Hungarian fokos stands out as a symbol of the commoners’ culture in Hungary and the broader Carpathian Basin.

It would be incorrect to say that Hungarian prowess in sabre-fencing began only in the modern era, when the sport of Olympic fencing was invented. Even before the Conquest period, sabres were extensively used by Magyar nomads, and were found in graves dated prior to their arrival in the Carpathian Basin.
