Rabbit Hole Research

In this next installment  I read more from my translation of Joachim Meyer's 1561 Longsword Fencing instruction.  This is part two and reveals some very fascinating information and never before heard concepts from Meyer.  Tune in again for part three coming soon.  And of course, watch for the entire Dussack section podcasts to follow soon.  Thanks for listening.

In this episode I read from my translation of Joachim Meyer's 1561 Longsword. This is part one of a three part series covering the entire Longsword section of Joachim Meyer's recently rediscovered 1561 manuscript.  

In this episode I discuss the Martial entertainment during the 15-17th centuries in Germany. Including research data from the Shooting festivals and Fechtschulen.  I give a brief overview of these fascinating competitions meant to entertain the public during the renaissance era in Germany.

In this first episode I'll be explaining how and why I do research into the Historic European Martial Arts. And how that helps to further my physical understanding of the arts as a Martial artist and practitioner.  I share tips and advice on the reasoning behind the research.  Special emphasis is placed on the works of 16th century German fencing Master Joachim Meyer.  In addition I explain the many other topics that I plan to cover in upcoming episodes. Tune in to find out what this is all about. Thanks for your time and interest.
