Answer: The foot in front is somewhat elevated and taps twice the ground in (juiek succession on the same place. Question : 6. How does one orm the position ot defence close to the front or rear? Answer: To close to the front is executed by extending the right arm, while the left arm drops to the left side and at the same tin.^ hy bringing the left heel towards the right and jx Lending both legs with l)ody erect. To close to the rear is executed in the same manner, ^Yith the exception that the right foot closes to the left heei. , OuESTiON : 7. How is the advance executed ? Answer: The right foot is placed cautiously and quickly about 8 to 12 inches to the front, followed by the left at the same distance with- out deranging the position of defence. Question: 8. How is the retreat executed' Answer: This is in reversed order of the advance; the left foot is placed about 8 to 12 inches directly to the rear, followed by the right foot with a light "appel" when placed down again. ^ Question: 9. When does one advance : Answer : One advances to shorten or. keep correct distance. y Question: 10. When does one retreat? Answer: One retreats to avoid a to close distance. y Question: 11. What is meant by distance? Answer: The distance is the 'interval between two opponents. It is a correct distance, when the point can reach the opponent in a lunging position. Question: 10. How is the extension of the arms executed? Answer: By extending both arms to their full length quickly but without any jerk; right and left hands as high as the shoulder and point in line with the breast of your opponent. In order to resunre the original position draw in your right hand quickly without jerking, at the height of the breast, elbow about 5 to 8 inches from the hip and in line of it, left arm in half circle behind the body. Question: 13. How is the lun^QV executed? Answer: The lunge is performed by extending both arms and left leg, while the right foot advances about twice its length, keeping at right angle with the left foot. Question: 14. What is the correct posture of the Imdy in the lungini^ position ? Answer: A correct lunge has t!it> following characteristics: The left foot is flat on the ground, the left leg is perfectly extended, the right foot is at a distance of abom four feet in straight line with the left heel, the right knee is vertically ah: is the execution of the art in all j its simple and compound movements of attack and defense. | The best practical instruction is undoubtcdl_v possible where the \ instructor has a single pupil before him, so that he can turn all his attention toward him alone and guide him in the beginning, wherever it is necessary-, with hand and sword. But it often happens that an instructor has to instruct too many pupils at one time, so that it becomes necessary to instruct them by classes; true, it is not very likely that an instructor can give a complete course of instruction in fencing entirely in classes without taking each pupil singly, because such class-taught pupils would have a po(jr show against others. I am, therefore, willing to write down a number of lessons w^hich will be most beneficial to the pupils, provided correct instruction accompany the execution. CLASS LESSONS. HOW TO DEPLOY TIIK CLASS FOR LNSTRUCTION. The pupils align in single rank, facing front. When they are dressed, they count off by twos from the right to the left and the instructor commands : 1. In two ranks form company : 2. March! At the first command each man faces to the right, except the first man on the right. At the second command the No. ones march up to the first man on the right and come to a front, while the No. twos march in succession behind No. one and face front. The class being in double rank, the instructor commands : 1. Bv the left {or right) tiank two paces take intervals: 2. March! 3. Halt! At the first command each man faces left (or right), except the ri^'ht (or left) file. At the second command the leading file steps off, followed by the next file by a distance of two paces, and so on. At the third command all come to a halt and front. Having taken the intervals the instructor commands : 1. In rear open order: 2. March! At the first command the rear men on the right and left wing step four paces back. At the second command the front rank will stand fast, the rear rank will step to the rear "and align themselves on the right guide. The instructor will place himself on the right flank in order to observe it the alignment is correct. If so, he commands : 1. Front! 2. Rear rank one pace left {or right) sideward: March! If the instructor wants to dismiss the class after instruction he commands: } 1. Rear rank one pace to the right {or left): March! 2. Close ] order: March! 3. By the right {or left) flank close intervals: 4 March ! -13- At the first command the rear rank steps one pace to the right (or left). At the second command the rear rank will close vip in quick time to the front rank. At the third command all face to the right (or left), except the right (or left) file. At the fourth command all march off to-* gether till they come to their proper places, then come to a halt and front. CLASS FENCING. Three Preliminary Lessons in Single Rank. FIRST LESSON.

EXPLANATIONS. In this lesson where the pupils perform two parries in succession. always form the first in full, then swiftly form the second. If attacking from the last parry, always keep opposition and elevation of the hand in the same line where the parry took place, except when the encircling from the parr}^ of seconde takes place; in that case keep strong opposition lo the left. Remark: To determine how long each lesson is to be dwelt upon depends on the progress of the pupils and the pressure of circumstances A good instructor will never pass from one lesson to another until the pupil fully understands and can execute all the previous lessons. (22 Lessons in 2 Series.) First Series: Simple Parries in 10 Lessons. Rem.\rk : — Before each lesson the instructor will explain to the pupils the attaclr and defense of each lesson. He will at first let No. 1 execute the attack and No. 2 the defense, then No. 2 attacks and No. 1 defends. FIRST LESSON. .\fter taking intervals and open ranks all No. Ones (front rank) face about, both ranks come to a half face to the left and take their guard with engagement quarte.

GEO. WITTICH, director normal school of n. a. g. u. question: 55. What is a feint in the line and how is it parried? Answer: A feint in the line is a false thrust in the engaged line, no matter which, with the intention of causing the opponent to parry. It is parried by moving only the point of the foil horizontally in the direction of the feint until parallel with the hand. Question: 56. What is a feint in line and disengage, and how can this attack be parried ? Answer: The feint object and parry is explained in Question 55. The disengage follows the feint without rebending the arm the moment the feint is taken by the opponent. The disengage can be parried by simple opposition or counter parry. Question: 57. What is a mark 1—2 and mark 1—2— .'5, and how can these attacks be parried ? Answer : A mark 1 — 2 consists of a feint of disengage and a disengage with lunge. The mark 1 — 2 — 3 consists of two feints of disengage and a disengage with lunge. The mark 1 — 2 can be parried by simple opposition or by simple opposition and counter. The mark 1 — 2 — 3 can be parried by simple opposition or by two simple oppositions and counter. Question: 58. What is a double and how can it be parried? Answer: A double consists of a feint of disengage and a disengage with lunge, same as the mark 1 — 2. But the feint of the double is parried by counter and the disengage can be parried by counter or simple parry. / I lEW HAVEN lORMAL SCHOOL OF GYMNASTICS inderson Normal School of G5'tnn? . s) E. H.
