The 18th century is a period of transition between Destreza, predominant in the 17th century, and modern fencing, of fundamentally French influence, which was imposed from the 19th century onwards. In contrast to other European territories where the production of works is more intense, on the Iberian Peninsula in the 18th century the creation of fencing works is scarce, on the contrary two centuries before and after. Therefore, it is interesting to study the few works that we have, to try to know what point and in what way new techniques and concepts are incorporated, as we persist in our abandoned knowledge and terminology of Destreza. <\/p>\n

A Espada Firme by Manoel Martins Firme (title and author that must be assimilated, together, for appreciation and memory of the humor as the author named to his work) is one of these transition texts that the sword rope is in disappearance but the fencing of the sword has not been completely supplanted.<\/p>\n
