Jump to navigationJump to search
The Salute in Fencing Generally Made Use of in all Academies Among Gentlemen Before They Assault or Fence Loose
Angelo says:
"The salute in fencing is a civility due to the spectators, and reciprocally to the persons who are to fence. It is customary to begin with it before they engage. A genteel deportment and a graceful air are absolutely necessary to execute this."
Prerequisites:
- Before you learn the salute you must be familiar with:
- Tierce and Carte
- The Guard Position
- The Pass Forwards and Back
- The Attacks or Beats of the Foot
- Equipment required: Foil or sword, and a hat.
