Secrets Of German Medieval Swordmanship
Home >> Manuals >> Secrets Of German Medieval SwordmanshipThe teachings of Master Johannes Liechtenauer, the premier master-at-arms of medieval Germany dominated German swordsmanship for over two centuries. He developed a form of martial art integrating sword, spear, dagger and grappling with and without armor, on foot and horseback. Originally, these teachings were passed to a select circle of students sworn to secrecy by cryptic, mnemonic verses. By the 15th century the secrecy was broken and the techniques expanded. Translated into English for the first time. This is a must for serious martial artists, students of medieval history, and reenactors. 384 pages, hardcover with many photographic interpretations. 19" x 11 3/8".
