A brief Introduction to the two handed sword of Field Marshall Don Diogo de Figueiredo, 1651 Master in the Science of Arms to the Crown Prince of Portugal. This short manuscript covers the use of the two handed sword in tactical situations one might find themselves confronting, containing 32 plays of the sword.
This class worked on the basic movements, doing a quick overview and trying some sample plays including the play for ship board use on a galley of the period.
