[Western] rapier manual

[faolon]

My apologize I did not answer your question in it's entirety (no spell checker on this computer).
There is in fact 1 paper on teaching which is good in and of itself. 
Though my intentions are an actual manual stating technigues not as absolutes but criticted with pros and cons.
Not ruling anything out with (as much as posible) an impartial explaination hopefully with at least crude illustrations as I'm not the best of artists. This ofcourse means that it will be dry at points as I try to break my examples down to each individual step. This should be instructional as opposed to simply informative. I mean for this to be more than just a paper stating my opinion of how sword fighting "should be". I realize there is no one set way to teach everyone so I intend to put as many as I can in this manual which I intend to update at least annually.
I realize that this is a huge task to partake and am willing to put my best effort forword if I feel someone else (who has submitted their idea to me) has worded a common technigue better than myself then it will be added probably verbatum. In short, this is not a matter of Ego or Pride for me but an honest desire to gather and share information on rapier. (PLease before anyone gets the wrong idea I do not mean that what anyone else wrote or submitted was a matter of Ego or Pride, merely that I will try to seperate that from my writing) I plan to have it chaptered and each chapter be downloadable seperatly. I realise thought some of my ideas are not right for everyone, but I will include them for the 1 or 2 people that they will help.
I seem to be babbling at this point, probly because it's 1 am here. so I'll cut this short if you have any more questions I welcome them though. Any interest is good interest.
