Montag's New Practical School of Fencing - German Cut-and-Thrust Manual

German fencing from the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance is well known to the English-speaking HEMA community, but the tradition's later development has been largely overlooked. This long-overdue translation brings the work of Ignaz Montag, a fencing instructor and "mnemonic" (an early process engineer) from Erfurt, to English-language readers for the first time.

Montag's treatise offers a rare window into a cut-and-thrust fencing tradition that carried German fencing methodology forward past its better-documented medieval and Renaissance roots. Essential reading for practitioners looking to round out their understanding of the German school beyond the usual longsword and rapier sources.
