La Verdadera Destreza

Also known as

Destreza · The True Skill · Spanish school of fencing

Description

The Spanish tradition of fencing of the early modern period, mainly with the rapier, based on reason, geometry and classical philosophy. Jerónimo Sánchez de Carranza set it out in his treatise of 1569 (printed 1582); his student Luis Pacheco de Narváez spread it and later split it into Carrancistas and Pachequistas. It used a single straight-arm guard and circular footwork, and lasted about two centuries.
