My club has just completed our first study guide for Meyer’s Dussack. Chapter one is designed primarily for those with little or no swordsmanship experience. If you are already familiar with German terminology then you can skip ahead to exercises 4 and 5 of that chapter.

Chapter two focuses on the guards and some simple techniques you can use from them. Many of these are the opening moves from actual devices. For those, pay attention to the “further reading” note following the exercise.

You can find other study guides from our club at the Scholars of Alcala meetup site.
