JosŽ Merelo y Casademunt is one of the last living lineage maestros to apply Destreza to the saber of his time. JosŽ follows a similar system as his brother Jaime and includes many pieces of advice about the usefulness of the particular techniques. This is the first translation ever into English of this manual and it is just one of several manuals dealing with the use of the saber published in Spain during the 19th century. This book is ideal for anyone wanting to learn about how the saber was used in Spain at a time when dueling was a very real part of the culture.
