After correctly learning to march, one of the most important aspects of a medieval soldier's training was learning to handle the sword. Practice began with heavy wicker shields and wooden swords. Soldiers were at first drilled on how to use the weapons, often fighting large wooden poles set in the ground, later moving up to fighting each other with the practice swords. Although training varied widely by nation and region, sword training generally emphasized stabbing, slashing, offensive and defensive posturing. Army tactics emphasized discipline, uniformity and repetitive training. When in battle, the individual soldier used his training to stab at exposed body parts, slash at eyes or legs unprotected by armour, or to block incoming strikes with shield or sword.
