John Georgius Bruchius, from: "Grondige Beschryvinge van de Edele border Ridderlijcke Shea-Wapen-konst ofte"
John Georgius Bruchius was born about 1630 in Zweibrücken (now Rheinland-Pfalz). He taught the art of fencing from 1653 to 1655 in Heidelberg, then 1655 to 1660 in Utrecht, and finally from 1660 in Leiden. All these cities were at that time famous university towns.
In Leiden, he published in 1671 his book "Grondige Beschryvinge van de Edele border Ridderlijcke Shea-Wapen-konst ofte" ("A thorough description of the noble and knightly Fencing and weaponry "). Dedicated the book "Lords of the famous University of Leiden Frederick van Dorp (Lord of Maasdam, a member of the knighthood of the Netherlands, dike Vogt of the Rhineland, former Ambassador of the sublime and high and mighty kings of Poland and Sweden), Johannes van Tilt (Mayor of the City Haarlem, member of the dike Board of the Rhineland), Cornelis de Wit (governor of putting, Bailjuw by Beyer country, mayor of Dordrecht, envoy of the Council of Holland) and in equal measure and the mayors of ailments, including Johan Meerman (Former Ambassador of the sublime and high and mighty King of England, Scotland and Ireland), Paul van Swanenburgh, Jacob Maas, Daniel van Alphen and the honorable, wise Mr. Pieter Burgersdyck (pensioner of the city of Leiden and Secretary of the above-mentioned Academy). treated
In his work John Georgius Bruchius fight the duel on foot. The first two books contain instructions for Rapier, the third book is on combat situations, left-handed against right-handed opponent, the fourth book includes fencing with cuts and the fifth book explains the use of Poignart (also Poignard, Poniard, a dagger) as Beiwaffe. The results shown in the engravings rapiers have no vessel more complex, but only a plain-trick sheet with quillons, suggesting that this is a transitional form from the 17th Rapier Of the 18th century up to the sword Century concerns. With the publication of his book
he follows his own words in the preface in the footsteps of the great fencing masters before him, particularly the 'famous Salvatoris Fabri' and the 'highly regarded Thibault Gerardus'. For the latter, he noted that his own regret Thibault was kind of compass come fencing because of its complexity and the necessary expenditure of time out of style. He also complained that it had now come so far that the youth's inexperience can not tell the difference between good and bad teaching, and therefore easy to fall for those who know the art of fencing more by talking than by fencing experience.
fencing is Bruchius an art in which someone who is called Master, can repel the enemy attacks, it remains intact even in all the limbs, but since his opponent can inflict damage. This concern he shares with many famous masters of previous and following centuries.
