Espada

Espada is a traditional Spanish fencing style characterized by its emphasis on precise, controlled thrusts with a slender, flexible sword called a rapier. Developed during the Renaissance, it focuses on timing, distance, and technique to outmaneuver opponents. Espada training includes footwork, body positioning, and strategic targeting of an opponent's vulnerabilities. Today, it is practiced both as a historical martial art and as a competitive sport within the broader context of fencing, showcasing elegance, discipline, and technical skill.
