The Rapier Part Three Develop Your Skills: Left Handed Layout

With this workbook you can take your skills to the next level. We will cover how to train: how to take things you already know and make them actually work under pressure. To become a swordsman/swordswoman/swordsperson not just someone who knows some sword moves. This is the heart of swordsmanship and its most sophisticated element.You will learn how to systematically add depth and complexity to the basic drills you already know bridging the gap between choreographical drill practice and free fencing. You will learn how to keep your practice in the optimum band between too-easy and too-hard and you will learn the basics of coaching which is all about creating that optimum level of difficulty for your partner.This version is laid out for left-handers with space for written notes on the left-hand page. If you are right-handed we recommend choosing the version laid out for you. All technical exercises are shown in the videos for both right-handers and left-handers.
