Description

Basic principles and technique of medieval shield combat

For centuries, unarmed combat with a sword and a small shield, or buckler, was one of the most widespread martial arts in medieval and Renaissance Europe. Based on medieval treatises and years of martial arts practice, Roland Warzecha and Tobias Wenzel offer an introduction to this fascinating art of fighting. Step by step, the viewer will be guided through basic fundamentals such as body mechanics, tactics and fencing theory. The underlying concepts of historical technique are demonstrated and explained in detail.

This DVD is the ideal starting point for your personal sword and buckler training. It also provides useful insights and cutting-edge research for the seasoned practitioner of Western martial arts.

In addition, the authors present protective gear and training weapons appropriate for practicing safe swordplay.

As a bonus, the DVD contains unedited footage of competitive free play as an example of modern sword and buckler combat.
