"Sword and Buckler" - a small chapter on the small shield. My interest is also small.

Part Two: Sword and Shield, can be summarized: protect your hand, slash at your opponent's legs or stab him in the belly, and whatever you do, do it really, really quickly, like a snapping turtle.

Okay, now we get to the more interesting stuff: sword and shield, sword and buckler, sword and dagger (my favorite), sword and cloak, and two swords (where one learns how to clear a street - yes, that's in there).

Time to get serious about making my way through this, rather than picking at it for two pages every couple of weeks. It's a slow read (it's a step-by-step instruction manual, at it's heart), but I need to be reading this more often, and hence more fluidly, to integrate what I'm learning. I can come back and practice individual moves later on.

Reading about stabbing and actually stabbing-stabbing are not the same thing. Still, I'm glad for the pedagogical framework, which teaches me theory that I don't have time to learn in the midst of melee.

Slow reading because I read, then practice, then reread, then practice again . . .
