In the sequel to the first volume, which introduced the long sword,
Herbert Schmidt explains single-handed sword fighting techniques
with a buckler, or small shield. "Single-handed sword" here refers
to the sword wielded in one hand, as used throughout almost the
entire Middle Ages. This book analyzes historical evidence, taken
mainly from the 13th-century German combat manual Manuscript I:33,
or "Tower Manuscript," the oldest and most widely trusted European
sword fighting manual in existence. Find information on binds,
posture, footwork, free fighting, and individual plays taken from
the writings of fencing masters Hans Talhoffer, Andre Lignitzer,
and Paulus Kal in this modern textbook that allows anyone
interested-whether beginner or advanced-to work and improve his
single-handed sword fighting skills.
