Summary: "How to fence: Containing full instruction for fencing and the use of the broadsword; also instruction in archery, described with twenty-one practical illustrations" by Frank Tousey is a comprehensive instructional guide written in the late 19th century, likely around the 1880s. This non-fiction publication serves as a manual for martial arts enthusiasts, focusing primarily on the art of fencing and swordsmanship, while also covering related disciplines such as archery, hurdle racing, vaulting, and throwing events. The book provides detailed explanations of various techniques for both fencing and broadsword exercises, emphasizing the importance of proper stance, movement, and defensive maneuvers. It begins with foundational movements underlining the concept of "the guard," leading into more complex tactics like "the engage" and "parades" for defense. Accompanied by practical illustrations, Tousey outlines essential training regimens, safety precautions for practice, and guidelines for archery skills. The comprehensive nature of this manual makes it a valuable resource for those interested in mastering these physical arts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
