Service Description

Considered by many to be the pinnacle of stage combat skill, this fighting style is commonplace in stories like Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Casanova, and the restoration. As balletic as it is deadly, the smallsword (or court sword, if you prefer) was the predominant dueling weapon in Europe until its use was banned for resulting in too many deaths - so they opted for firearms as the "safer" option. Training in this style will hone an actor's ability to make minute movements of the wrist feel palpable to an audience, and dial in their sense of specificity with their character's intentions...whether they've a sword in their hand or not.
