I33 Fencing in the Style of the Walpurgis Manuscript 2nd edition Paperback – May 21, 2016

This is a great training manual. I am going through it step by step

Arcane language and terms. Beginners can learn much . Need a slow motion feint, parry, and repost group to go along with it. Made a practice buckler out of bottom of plastic bucket and glued in water bottle.

A very good introduction to I33 sword and buckler. I like the continuing references to the details of the treatise. Good discussion of footwork, body mechanics, and proper distance, so necessary to make this work effectively. Good treatment of the tactical use of overbinds and underbinds. The suggested exercises are logical in feeling out the flow of this combat system.

When one tackles I.33 one expects challenges. This book fills in the missing bits. _After_ assimilating this volume one can understand I.33.
