Biography
The son of the poet and journalist Alexander Michaud (1839–1895), whose ancestors moved to Poland from Belgium. [2]
He studied with the best French and Italian fencers. In the first half of the 1890s, when the military fencing and gymnastics hall was opened in Warsaw, he was invited there as a senior fencing teacher. [3] Taught saber fencing according to the Italian method (basically, it is not the brush that works, but the arm from the elbow [4] ). Not too well-known in Poland, the Italian school quickly gained popularity, and soon Michaud became a teacher of fencing in several other sports societies in Warsaw. [5] One of the students of Michaud was P. A. Zakovorot , the future well-known Russian fencer, and later one of the founders of the Soviet fencing school. He left memories of his first lesson with a teacher:
Showing me in the first lesson how to hold the espadron and how to get into position, Michaud took a weapon and ordered to defend himself. Before I had time to think that, perhaps, I could resist my not-so-strong-looking opponent, when Michaud lunged, his saber flashed in the air, and mine flew to the ground with a clang. I raised my weapon and prepared for defense again. I beat off the first blow, but Michaud’s blade immediately rests on my chest.
- memoirs of Peter Zakovorot [6]
Michaud took part in a number of international competitions, in particular:
- In 1900 he became one of the first Russian participants in the Olympic Games - in the saber fencing competition among the maestro (that is, actually among professionals) he took 5th place (his student Pyotr Zakovorot was 7th): in the semifinal group he won 6 victories with 1 defeat, in the final - 3 wins with 4 defeats. [7] For this result, he received 400 francs (in terms of - 152 rubles). [eight]
- In 1910, at a major fencing tournament in Paris, he took 5th place in saber competitions (Peter Zakorovot was 3rd). [9]
Michaud died in 1925; buried in Warsaw at the cemetery Old Powzki . [one]
