Broad-Sword and Single-Stickby R. G. Allanson-Winn and C.
Phillipps-Wolley
The Art of Fencing
by Monsieur L'Abbat
Close combat techniques from a bygone age
For good value this book combines two excellent instructional
pieces on the art of close quarter combat with edged weapons and
staves. The first book deals comprehensively with the use of the
short sword, bayonet, staves and various other clubs and even gives
instruction on personal defence using everyday items such as
umbrellas. The second book is a classic monograph on fighting-not
necessarily according to the rules of modern sport-when both
opponents are armed with sharp edged weapons, this provides an
interesting insight into a time when combat was invariably fought
'eye to eye.' Re-enactors and all those interested in the history
of warfare before the domination of the bullet and explosive shell
will find these two books in a single volume to be an invaluable
source of information on one-to-one combat techniques. Available in
softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.
