Three Bâton Manuals: Translated from the French with Some Notes on Modern Practice - Paperback

This book contains three fundamental b ton texts-excerpts from the military Manuel de Gymnastique; Andr mile's Manuel de Boxe et de Canne; and Georges H bert's L' ducation physique virile et morale, together with a guide for modern practice. It forms a base discipline, still taught in a living tradition, that can be practiced in its own right or tied to a system of longsword or cut-and-thrust sword. It is intended as a companion to my more formal publications, The Art of the Two-Handed Sword and The Art of the Rapier, as well as the MHS series of instructional videos.
