American Smallsword Symposium IV will center on the French fencing master Antoine Texier La Boëssière and author the 1818 fencing treatise titled Treatise on the Art of Weapons. The event will be the official introduction of the first complete translation into English of the treatise by Philip Crawley from our sister organization the original Smallsword Symposium and Black Boar School of Swordsmanship in Edinburgh. Copies will be available on Lulu by March 2018 and of course at the event. In addition we will have a full schedule of classes most of which will be drawn directly from the lessons in the book. We will have a tournament, of course " a la Boëssière" i.e., style will recognized as well as hits.
Full schedule and list of classes and instructors will follow soon. Registration will open up on January 1, 2018.
