We build up to rapier and dagger fencing by first gaining reasonable control over the sword alone, then we use the following system. Video from Guy's online Rapier course: https://swordschool.teachable.com/p/rapier and book four in his Rapier Workbook Series: https://guywindsor.net/book/rapierpartfour/
- Parrying with the dagger alone
- Parrying with the dagger while striking with the sword
- Feinting against the dagger
- Parrying with the dagger while doing a feint-disengage with the sword against the dagger
This naturally builds up the student's instinct to use the dagger defensively.
