Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of swordsmanship during a time when dueling and brawling were commonplace. It presents a fascinating argument for the superiority of the short sword over the long rapier, challenging the prevailing trends of the time. The author, a skilled swordsman himsel…f, critiques the popular Italian fencing style, highlighting its weaknesses and advocating for a return to the "true" English fighting style. He emphasizes the importance of defense, arguing that it had been neglected in favor of flashy offensive techniques. This treatise offers not only historical insights into swordsmanship but also practical advice on close-quarters combat. The author's detailed descriptions of grips and ripostes provide a glimpse into a forgotten yet effective method of sword fighting. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about swordsmanship and appreciate the value of a simple, effective approach to combat.
