'''Johann Andreas Schmidt''' was a [[century::17th century]] and [[century::18th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[fencing master]] who ran his own fencing school in the Free State of Nürnberg, Bavaria, Germany, and praticed throughout Saxony Zöblitz. He was born in Marienberg in the Erzgebirgskreis District, Germany, in ca. 1650. Sometime after 1671 (or perhaps after 1675), Schmidt studied fencing under [[Johann Georg]] and [[Johannes Georgius Bruchius]] at the latter's school in Amsterdam. At the time, Amsterdam was an international and highly influential city and it appears that Schmidt had the good fortune of fencing with masters from Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and elsewhere while pursuing his fencing studies and training.<ref name="Schmidt-History">[[Johann Andreas Schmidt]]. "[http://fechtgeschichte.blogspot.de/2011/10/der-fecht-und-exercitienmeister-johann.html]". ''A history of Johann Andreas Schmidt''. Retrieved 16 January 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
Schmidt's fencing skill is illustrated by a story that is told of how in 1712, on a bet of 10 ducats and armed with just a stick, he took on "six strong farmers" in Altdorf in the area of Nürnberg. He defeated them all, thus winning the bet.<ref name="Schmidt-History"/> The following year, in 1713, he set up his fencing school in Nürnberg.<ref name="Schmidt">[[Johann Andreas Schmidt]]. "[http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/a65293aa-68fb-f3ac-e040-e00a180606d8 Johann Andreas Schmidt]". ''Frontpiece from Fechtbook by Johann Andreas Schmidt''. Retrieved 16 January 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
Later he taught in Hildburghausen. In 1721, when he challenged to fight two other fencing masters, names unknown, before Bayreuth's Marquis, Georg Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1678-1726). The challenge was fought in the vestibule of the royal hall in Bayreuth and Schmidt disarmed both repeatedly, thus gaining the favor of his new patron, the Marquis of Bayreuth, who elevated him to the position of Page Fechtmeister and granted him a salary of 1,000 guilders.<ref name="Schmidt-History"/> Afterward, probably after 1726 when his patron passed away, Schmidt returned to Nürnberg to continue his teachings. Then he moved on to teach in both Stuttgart and finally in Tübingen, where he died.<ref name="Schmidt-History"/><br />
<br />
In 1713, probably to promote his fencing school, Schmidt published a very extensive fencing and exercise manual entitled Gründlich lehrende Fechtschule. The manual is dedicated to many, but first on the list is the man who is perhaps his patron, Herrn [[Hanns Carl Löffelholtz von Colberg]]. In its third publication, it was retitled as, ''[[Johann Andreas Schmidts, Fecht- und Exercitienmeisters Fecht-Kunst, Nürnberg, 1780 (Johann Andreas Schmidt)|Johann Andreas Schmidts, Fecht- und Exercitienmeisters Fecht-Kunst oder leichte und getreue Anweisung auf Stoss und Hieb zierlich und sicher zu fechten.]]'' ("Johann Andreas Schmidts Fencing and Exercise Masters Fencing Arts, or an easy and accurate statement on the shock and blow and about safety in fencing."). The original publisher of the 1713 edition is not known, but the book was republished in 1749 in Nürnberg by Ben Endterischen Conforten und Engelbrechts Wittwe, and later in 1750, 1760 and finally 1780 in Nürnberg, the latter republishing well after Schmidt's death and done by Christoph Weigelischen Runsthandlung in 1780.<br />
<br />
Schmidt's lengthy fencing manuals (342 pages in the 1780 edition) are broadly divided into four parts. The first discusses the use and fencing arts with the single [[rapier]] after the German manner, which he had learned through Georg and Bruchius, which was itself heavily influenced by the teachings of the Italian master [[Salvator Fabris]].<ref name="Reinier">[[Reinier van Noort]]. "[http://www.bruchius.com/Eng/bruchiuseng.html Johannes Georgius Bruchius]". ''School voor Historische Schermkunsten''. Retrieved 22 February 2013.</ref> The second covers exercises by gymnastic techniques done on the pommel horse, and which in historic style is depicted in illustrations as a horse-shaped apparatus with the pommels (aka handles) being the front and back of the high saddle, itself done in 18th C. style. The third part of the manual provides more instruction on fencing techniques. Finally, the forth part provides lessons in wrestling, aka "the Ring", which portrays holds and take downs and appears to have its roots in the classic wrestling styles that accompanied teachings with the longsword from the previous two centuries.<ref name="Schmidt-History"/><br />
<br />
Johann Andreas Schmidts died probably around 1730 in Tübingen, Germany.<br />

Wiktenauer is a community project, and is built on the work of a great many HEMA researchers. The following are the contributors whose transcription, translation, and concordance work have made this site successful. In reminiscence of the [[Society of Liechtenauer|Gesellschaft Liechtenauers]], an honor roll of important figures in the Liechtenauer tradition recorded by master [[Paulus Kal]] in ca. 1470, we like to refer to this group by the slightly tacky name '''Gesellschaft Wiktenauers''', the Wiktenauer Society.<br />

'''Johann Andreas Schmidt''' was a [[century::17th century]] and [[century::18th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[fencing master]] who ran his own fencing school in the Free State of Nuremburg, Bavaria, Germany. It is not known where he was born, though it was probably in Germany in ca. 1650. Sometime after 1671 (or perhaps after 1675), Schmidt studied fencing under [[Johannes Georgius Bruchius]] at the latter's school in Amsterdam. Sometime prior to 1713, Schmidt opened his own fencing school in Nuremberg.<ref name="Schmidt">[[Johann Andreas Schmidt]].

Retrieved 16 January 2016.</ref>.<br />
<br />
In Sometime prior to 1713, perhaps while teaching at his fencing school, Schmidt published a very extensive fencing manual entitled ''[[Johann Andreas Schmidts, Fecht- und Exercitienmeisters Fecht-Kunst, Nurnberg, 1780 (Johann Andreas Schmidt)|oder leichte und getreue Anweisung auf Stoss und Hieb zierlich und sicher zu fechten. Nebst einem curiusen Unterriche vom Boltigiren und Ringen]]'' ("Johann Andreas Schmidts Fencing and Retreat Masters Fencing Arts, or an easy and accurate statement on the shock and small strikes and about safety in fencing."). The original publication date of the book and publisher is not known, but the book was republished in Nuremberg after Schmidt's death by Christoph Weigelischen Runsthandlung in 1780, and it discusses the use and fencing arts with the single [[rapier]] after the German manner, which he had learned through Bruchius, which was itself heavily influenced by the teachings of the Italian master [[Salvator Fabris]].<ref name="Reinier">[[Reinier van Noort]].
