De La Grande Bibliotheque de Tamriel
By master Ghelwezh
- Do not strangle the grip-hold it firmly but lightly in your palm.
- The blade curves: the edge is rigid, but the flat is flexible. Learn to feel your sword's range of motion.
- Your sword is not the weapon, it is only the point of the weapon. Your entire body is the weapon, and it must move as one.
- You expose yourself only when you attack—but if you do not attack, you cannot hit.
- The strongest slash is with the forte of the blade.
- Move always, defending with stop thrusts, parries, backsteps, and sidesteps. To stand still is to die.
- Know your lunge range—and your opponent's. Learn to sense it without looking down.
