La Verdadera Destreza: Dueling stories.

I came upon this while reading about the spanish fencing style and its footwork. Some cool stuff in there... specially a lady by the name of Catalina De Erauso. All her duels ended up with a "I ran him through, and down he went". It seems she was a tough cookie. :)

That's cool!
Reminds me of the Arturo Perez-Reverte novel The Fencing Master
