By the time the student is ready for the level of Fechter they should have already demonstrated good form when performing techniques in a slower and more controlled manner.  For Fechter 1, however, they should be performing techniques with more intent without sacrificing control. 
+
The Fechter II level comprises three main elements:
  
−
For the Fechter I grading students should demonstrate the techniques in protective equipment (at least using gloves and a mask), first performing the technique slowly, then at high speed.
+
* Demonstrating the ability to pass on knowledge.
−
 
+
* Completing the understanding of the Meyer Longsword syllabus.
−
The Fechter I level includes all principal cuts and guards, as well as the full range of secondary cuts and handworks. This level also includes self-study elements of two key devices from the system.  Additional dagger applications round out the syllabus for this level.
+
* Demonstrating a more complete knowledge of the secondary weapons.
