Historical European Martial Arts became a major international
movement over the last two decades. Clubs and schools sprang up on
every populated continent pursuing a wide variety of activities and
styles. Because the movement is still so new many clubs lack people
with experience researching, practicing, or teaching long dead
martial arts. In The Art of Longsword Fighting Ben Smith offers his
interpretation of the foundational sections of the art of fighting
with the longsword taught by Sigmund Ringeck, one of the preeminent
masters of the Liechtenauer tradition. He offers his method of
teaching it based on his twenty years of research into historical
teaching methods, the evidence within Ringeck's texts, and the
writings of his contemporaries both inside and outside his
tradition. The author also lays out the concepts for understanding
the structure and form of a martial art style, the process of
physical research, the results of his research into the training
methods of this particular style, and offers the most transparent
published interpretation to date of the foundational section of
Ringeck's longsword style to show how he justifies his
interpretation and teaching methods he recommends. All of this is
achieved through a panoply of photographs showing each movement,
along with explanatory diagrams, and explanations detailing how and
when to introduce each next step in the curriculum, in a manner
that is faithful to Ringeck's style. This book will help you
understand this martial arts style as a complete entity, use
current historical research effectively, and will prove invaluable
to martial artists and researchers of the Renaissance era.
