In the Middle Ages, wrestling was practiced as both pastime and
self-defense by every level of society - nobles, townsman and
peasants alike - and was regarded as the foundation of all other
martial arts. And no medieval wrestler's name looms as large as
that of the Jewish master Ott, 'wrestler to the noble Princes of
Austria', whose treatise is included in over a dozen fencing
manuscripts. In this first of its kind book, Jessica Finley of the
renowned medieval martial arts association, the Selohaar
Fechtschule, guides the reader on a journey that begins with the
historical background of Ott's wrestling and culminates in
step-by-step instruction for practicing the techniques of this
ancient fighting art. Both the lover of history and the wrestler on
the mat will find this work an invaluable resource.
