About this title

Synopsis

""A New System of Broad and Small Sword Exercise"" is a book written by Thomas Stephens in 1843. The book provides a comprehensive guide to two different types of sword exercises: the broad sword exercise for cavalry and the small sword cut and thrust practice for infantry. The author has designed this system for military personnel to improve their swordsmanship skills. The book includes detailed instructions, illustrations, and diagrams to help readers understand the techniques and movements required for each exercise. The broad sword exercise section covers everything from the basic stance to more advanced maneuvers, such as the half-cut and the point-thrust. The small sword cut and thrust practice section focuses on the use of the small sword, which is a lighter and more agile weapon than the broad sword. The author explains the proper grip, footwork, and techniques for both offensive and defensive moves. Overall, ""A New System of Broad and Small Sword Exercise"" is an essential guide for anyone interested in learning the art of sword fighting or for military personnel looking to improve their combat skills.To Which Are Added Instructions In Horsemanship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
