The smallsword did not require the elaborate lunges and large body actions of the Italian schools of fence and so a French method of fencing developed to suit; relying on an upright stance, dextrous use of the fingers to manipulate the point and emphasis given to multiple intent actions like the feint or parry-riposte to decrease the risk inherent in stop-thrusts, single-time defences and other actions which increased the chance of a double hit. This book provides access to the comprehensive original material in Girard\u2019s smallsword manual, a solid yet diverse representation of the \u201cCommon\u201d smallsword method of the era and its use in a range of settings and also provides insight and ideas as to how to put these words into practice with articles and essays for the interest of historical fencers, re-enactors and historians alike.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>Format: Paperback, 207 pages, 23.4 x 15.6cm, B&amp;W<\/div>\n<div>Authors: P.J.F Girard, K\u00e9vin C\u00f4t\u00e9, P Crawley<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girard\u2019s smallsword manual and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":34648,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[330],"product_tag":[3734,1364],"class_list":["post-34645","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-hema","product_tag-boek-over-smallsword","product_tag-smallsword","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
