Excerpt from "A Criticism of Popular Dueling Methods"
There is a particular trend I have observed, among the French youth, of attacking an opponent's foot; and while occasionally successful, in a manner of speaking, I cannot recommend this strategy against any serious opponent; or against anyone wearing shoes, for that matter. For while a barefoot peasant may be prone to such pedary offense, a respectable master of the German or Italian schools will be quick to punish this misguided fashion.
