Rapier and dagger drills

We build up to rapier and dagger fencing by first gaining reasonable control over the sword alone, then we use the following system:

• 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.
