Jakob Sutor von Baden was a 16th century German Freifechter. He seems to have been a native of the Baden region of southern Germany, and was an initiate of the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer. At some point before 1612, he authored a fencing manual which shows a clear relationship to the earlier treatise of Salzburg Freifechter Joachim Meÿer (possibly indicating a direct connection between the two masters). This treatise was reprinted in Frankfurt am Main in 1612, but the date of the first printing is currently unknown.[1]
