About This Book
The book provides practical instruction in swordsmanship and related athletic disciplines, beginning with footwork, guards, cuts and thrusts for small-sword and broadsword, and progressing through partnered drills, solo practices, and safety measures such as the use of wire masks. It also offers guidance on archery and a range of field exercises—hurdle racing, pole vaulting, hammer throwing and shot putting, with step-by-step commands, training routines, and technical illustrations (twenty-one plates) to demonstrate form and practice sequences. Emphasis is placed on physical benefits, disciplined repetition, and correct posture for effective and safe practice.
