Greetings! Thank you for the generous compliment. Destreza indeed covers a variety of weapons not just the rapier. This particular style of sabre play is derived from Jaime Merelo y Casademunt's manual printed in 1862 for the officers of the Infantry College in Toledo.
@@duelinginbarcelona Sorry to say, Verdadera Destreza are the teachings of Luis Pacheco de Narvaez, using Ropera and maybe Daga. Period. This is Saber which is nice but not destreza.
@@Galguitis Hola. No need to apologise for your opinion. It is a common one. However many of us, here in Spain studying Destreza, intensely agree with Maestro Don Luis Pacheco and his Maestro Jerònimo de Carranza the father of Verdadera Destreza that the study of Destreza covers all weapons. It is even in the title of Carranza's manual. De la Filosofia de las Armas y de su Destreza y la Aggression y Defensa Cristiana ("On the Philosophy of Arms and its Skill, and Christian Offense and Defense"). In the mid 19th century the Spanish Army returns to a sabre with a much straighter blade and Don Jaime Merelo, the weapons instructor of the Infantry Officer's College, reaches back through the rich history of written Destreza and applies these principals to teaching his officers how to defend themselves using Destreza as well as teaching the Destreza de la Bayoneta. So as your opinion is common, it is also a rather modern one.
Besides, Carranza predates Pacheco, and wrote his treatise at a time when most diestros used “espada de punta y corte” (cut and thrust sidesword). Definitely not about rapier exclusively. Even the word “ropera” was first used before rapiers were common, and referred to any sword you could use in civilian situations-that is, what today we cal a sidesword
Thank you for the compliment but I am far from a Maestro. Still quite the student actually, but I would be happy to make a video showing a few combinations in the future. Gracias por la pregunta.

Great music choice. I like it.
Thanks Bro!
It is beautiful. I give a sub. I thought Destrez was only about rapier. Greetings from Poland.
