Bah, that's the situation in my club, too. No sabre coach. So I just bout a heck of a lot. No footwork exercises, no drills, no dummy. Just bouting. I don't know why people think that won't make you get better.
Oh, and I do watch the Youtube videos, too.  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

R- Why?
I mean, believing that is all very well for you. I applaud holding strong personal opinions. But the question is: Why should the OP believe it? Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!
