Ein new Kůnstliches Fechtbuch im Rappier ("A New Illustrated Fencing Manual on Rapier") is a German fencing manual written by Michael Hundt and printed in 1611. The treatise presents a system of rapier fencing apparently independent from the contemporary Italian rapier traditions, but bears certain similarities to the treatise Jakob Sutor von Baden would publish in 1612.
