Vollständiges Fecht- Ring- ûnd Voltigier-Bũch ("Complete Book of Fencing, Wrestling, and Vaulting") is a German fencing manual by Johann Georg Pascha, first printed in 1666. This treatise is a compilation and expansion of his previous books on rapier fencing (1661), grappling (1663), and pommel horse exercises (1660). While the text is largely preserved unchanged, Pascha seems to have commissioned new illustrations and almost doubled the number found in the previous foundational works.
