La Verdadera Destreza (Rapier Fighting)
This Spanish swordsmanship was compiled in the sixteenth
century, separating itself from other European
styles with the emphasis on circular movements with a
sword and relying on thrusts and ripostes with a rapier.
The modern fencing sport descends from the Destreza
style of swordplay. Masters of the art, Camillo, Agrippa,
and Thibault, have all lent their names to specific defensive
and offensive strategies with the sword. Most
of the trid star combat with swords is tied to this technique,
as it has the most flourish and flash.
