Mastering the Art of Arms updated with new dagger course


Hi,

this is just to let you know that the Mastering the Art of Arms subscription, on both Teachable and SwordPeople, has been updated with the new Medieval Dagger course. If you're already enrolled, you should find it in your dashboard. Do let me know if you have any trouble accessing it.

If you're not enrolled (yet), you should know that there are now over a dozen online courses in the package, including:

  • The Medieval Wrestling, Dagger, and Longsword courses,
  • Jessica Finley's Haupstucke course (Liechtenauer longsword),
  • The Complete Rapier course,
  • Solo Training,
  • Medieval Sword and Buckler,
  • As well as footwork, breathing, meditation, and how to recreate historical martial arts from historical sources.


I've priced the subscription (Teachable and SwordPeople) to be affordable, and really good value. But if you need the material but don't have the money (for whatever reason), get in touch with a note about what you can afford, and I'll set something up for you.


cheers,

Guy

BOOKS PODCAST COURSES COMMUNITY BLOG Hi! Online Course progress As you know I’m working on the Introduction to Historical Martial Arts course, designed to introduce beginners to the historical, martial, and artistic elements of this pursuit. It’s a worthy challenge- in other words, it’s very difficult to get right, but I can’t delegate it to anyone. I’ve cracked the overall structure and the technical side of how it’ll be delivered, so I’m now working on the actual individual components of...

The Scoliotic Knight by Toby Capwell

Hi! I have to confess my mojo has been at a pretty low ebb for the last couple of months. There’s no obvious reason why, but I haven’t written a word in any of my current book projects, and while I did manage to edit and publish the new Vadi course, that was about it for creative juices flowing. I’m inclined to associate this with the very annoying cholesterol results I got back from a routine health check at the end of March, which lead me to drop alcohol altogether for a month. Clearly my...

The Scoliotic Knight title page with cool armour

Hi! Exciting times at Swordschool this week... first up, renowned historian, curator, arms and armour expert, and jouster Dr. Toby Capwell has released his famous lecture "The Scoliotic Knight: Encounters with Richard III" on video for the first time. The discovery in Leicester of the grave of King Richard III (1452-85) raised many new questions. The skeleton’s severe scoliosis revealed that the twisted physique of William Shakespeare’s ‘Black Legend’ was based on fact. But how could someone...
