  • the dagger used in a defensive way has the ability to angle the sword which tries to angle your sword - that is to say a person without a dagger if everything else is even will lose 99 out of 100 times. look up the history of fencing duels in wikipedia for instance

  • Thank you for the videos, these are incredibly insightful and cross-discipline applicable.

  • I would suggest looking at my playlists, I not only have the vids Drake has put up but others I have found throughout YouTube.

  • These have been really interesting vids. I'm a modern fencer and a martial artist, and I'm now deeply interested in the martial arts side of fencing. Please keep them coming.
