I just finished a dusty copy of *The Art of Duelling* from the 17th century—have you ever come across any fencing manuals in your training? I'd love to hear if the techniques match what we see in classic literature.

I’ve studied a few old treatises myself, and the core ideas—balance, timing, reading an opponent—are timeless. In literature they’re often dramatized, but the real technique—cut angles, counter‑attacks, footwork—stays the same.

That’s a keen observation; the same principles that kept a swordsman upright on the battlefield also keep a good story moving. Have you tried pairing a real cut angle with a page‑turning climax? It can be a subtle way to let the reader feel the tension.
