Greetings all! Again, please excuse any flaws in my english, for it is not my primary language!
I recently posted a question about tips to how to get started at rapier training. I found a very nice manual, Palla Armatta, and I've reading it and testing some Prime, Secunde, Tertz and Quarte techniques. So, my next question shall be made upon the viewing of the second chapter, which describes the fight between two right handed fencers engaging each other with ''swords'' ( I assume that this ''sword'' is, in fact, a Reinassance cut & thrust sword. Am I right?).
1) There wasn't any detailed description of the techniques that should be used to attack with the cut and thrust sword. The thrust is identical to the rapier? And how to peform blows with the edge? And I'm sure there are edge blows since the author mention blows against the head, the arm and the leg.
2) Are there any good manuals out there describing the use of a Reinassance cut & thrust with a buckler or even a shield?
Thank you in advance!
