leam,

David,
I have found that endurance work out is the way to go: Or at least incorporated with cardiovascular work outs.
Build your tools (yourself) before you start trying to construct a master peice (combative skills) - work out

The more endurance, the less stress you'll feel, and so better ...

I will approach my plt sgt with the dagger / Close Quarter combat idea, that ...

Hello
I am relatively new to WMA, and looking for any one in the area of Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, USA.
I am in the Military and making it to any kind of two-three day seminar is near impossible. I have a fairly good start to a “Swordsman’s Library” and a few of my soldiers are willing to hit ...

Guy Windsor's book "The Swordmans Companion, A Modern Training Manual for the Medieval Longsword " was very good. Even more so while reading / studying along side with John Clements : Medieval Swordsmanship: Illustrated Methods and Techniques and Chritian Tobler’s book of Sigmund Ringeck's ...
