Johann Andreas Schmidt was a German fencing master born around 1650 in Marienberg, Germany. Sometime after 1671 (or after 1675) he studied fencing with fencing masters Johann Georg and Johannes Georgius Bruchius in Amsterdam. Schmidt's impressive fencing abilities were illustrated by the story that in 1712, as a result of a bet of 10 ducats, armed only with a stick, he fought with "six strong farmers" in Altdorf in the Nuremberg area and defeated them all, thereby winning the bet. In 1713 he founded his own fencing school in Nuremberg. In 1721, Georg Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1678-1726), the ruler of Bayreuth, appointed Schmidt a page-master of fencing after the successful defeat and disarmament of two fencing masters. He was awarded the appointment of a page-master of fencing with a salary of 1000 guilders. After the death of his patron, probably after 1726, Schmidt returned to Nuremberg to continue his studies. He then moved to teach in Stuttgart and finally to Tübingen, where he died.
The treatise on the art of fencing is an impressive work, including many illustrations. The text is divided into six parts (not counting the preface and afterword). In four parts, various methods of fencing are considered, in one - vaulting, the latter is devoted to fighting without weapons. The treatise was obviously very popular, since it was reprinted at least five times in the XVIII century under different names.
