<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Sword positions''' refers simply to the way a [[sword]] is held in the hand when adopting a [[ward]] or a [[counter]]. There are four basic sword positions given for single handed swords noted from [[fechtbuch]]er and thus used when fighting using [[historical swordsmanship|historical swordfighting techniques]]. <br />
<br />
They are:<br />
* [[First position]]<br />
* [[Second position]]<br />
* [[Third position]]<br />
* [[Fourth position]]<br />
<br />
These names may also be given in [[Italian]] or [[French]] depending on the source of the swordfighting tradition or the pomposity of the speaker.<br />
