    Awesome!!!
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016*

I have dedicated a life time studying mixed martial arts long before it was popularized by the U.F.C. !  I also started studying the lost arts of sword fighting as soon as the old fight manuals were made available to the public.  Real sword fighting & Olympic fencing are roughly 500 years removed from one another.  At first I was amazed to see many Asian moves, throws & joint locks coming out of European fight manuals but as a after thought it made perfect sense because the Human Body has the same limitations & capabilities no matter what continent your on!!!  I would not recommend this particular book for beginners but for those that have been practicing from the old fight manuals & with a variety of weapons, this manual is a must have bridging the gaps between The Long Sword & The Great Sword!!!  There are a lot of little gems to be found in this Fight manual & those who have already been studying will recognize the subtle differences & catch on quickly to the extreme & subtle differences  necessary for properly using a Two Handed Sword.  You will see the parallels to the use of Pole Arms.  Where the moves involved in the much lighter long sword are very compact, quick & precise we see with the heavier longer Two Handed swords where centrifugal momentum comes into play making the huge figure eight with your blade more practical & much less Hollywood where you see this done unnecessarily with lighter blades.  While I wouldn't recommend this book to beginners, those that are already familiar with the use of the Sword this is a must have book for your study material!!  After some deeper thought I would like to say that this would be a good book for beginners especially if they pick up some other treatises. I would recommend "Sigmund Ringeck's Knightly Art of the Long Sword" as well as its companion book " Knightly Arts of Combat", both of these books have very easy to follow drawn instructions so detailed they show foot placement & divide the body so you can follow the correct hand grip's right & left hand placement on the sword.  Their are other great reference books but with these three Books & a helpful study partner a beginner can get a great start.

    A must-have for fencing enthusiasts.

Imagine "The Science of Fencing" by William Gaugler, but written for two-handed sword.  The classical influence is clearly present in this book, which can be a danger, but the author channels it perfectly: using extensive outside knowledge to more deeply understand, but not second-guess, the source material (which is also included in the original for those who wish to experiment with other interpretations).  The book flows naturally from principles, to solo drills, to partner drills of increasing sophistication, including step-by-step instructions and lots of photographs.  Be warned, though, this may take a long time to read, not because it is exceptionally long or at all difficult to follow, but because with every page you will want to pick up a sword and go practice!
