Dusack Guard Names and their alternates

Alcala is a multi-disciplinary club. As such, it is really important for us to cross reference terminology across the various sources that we study. For example, if a Bolognese Sword and Buckler student drops into a Dusack class, they will get up to speed much faster if we offer touchpoints that they already understand.

So as part of our study guides, we’re starting to build out tables that show correlations between traditions. In some cases, we need them within a tradition such as Meyer longsword vs rapier terminology.

We’re currently editing the Meyer Dusack book, which gives us an opportunity to include one of these tables. Later we’ll go back and add them to the other drill books as we get them ready for publication. (Longsword is almost ready for editing!)
