sword and dagger

Postby Eddie Smith » Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:22 pm

What would be the best manual for learning the fundamentals of s&d techniques? Preferably one with a good ammount of pics as I do better with pics than text alone.

Capo Ferro and Fabris both have good sections on Rapier and Dagger, and they are commercially availible.

Of course sword and dagger and rapier and dagger are two different things. They do share many similarities but they are not totally interchangaeable. George Silver would be a great place for sword and dagger. I believe Marozzo has some as well?

There is a translation of both manciolinis and marozzos s&d on www.hemac.org (look under research I believe), Agrippa also feature alot of cutting in his s&d, if cutting vs thrusting is what you use to define rapier/sidesword.
