  • Parrying Daggers and Poniards By: Leonid Tarassuk
    Parrying Daggers and Poniards by: Leonid Tarassuk In history of European fencing, the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries were as important as in most other fields of arms history. During that period European fencing schools, developing ancient traditions of personal combat with sword accompanied by a shield, worked out a kind of double fencing wherein both hands were armed with edged weapons and played an active part in offense and defense. An excellent exercise for body and mind, this most complicated form of fencing, requiring an assiduous training and great skill, cast a sort of spell over contempo- raries by mysterious passes and combinations, infinite variety of technical ways, elaborate motor coordination of hands and feet. The perfecting of weapons and swordplay technique were developing conjointly and finally led to elaboration of the single-sword fencing methods that laid foundations for modern fencing. But this development took one and a and small buckler held together in his left hand. The fenc- half centuries, during which period the sword-and-dagger ing master's concept is that in such occurrence the dagger form of personal combat dominated in Western Europe. must be held like a knife, the thumb at the pommel, the The progress of the double fencing and the ultimate same hand somehow also gripping the buckler handle. results of this evolution would have been impossible with- This method can hardly be regarded as practical because, ~utessential modifications of the weapons used, including first of all, it almost forbids any offensive actions with the those usually called left-hand daggers, which are the main dagger, and, second, a hard blow on this parrying contri- subject of this study.
