Item came as ordered. Happy with purchase.

A first class primer for Fiore longsword and a must have for anyone new to historical fencing. Guy Windsor lays out the whys and hows in an easily accessible format that covers an extensive range of actions of the sword and how to combine them with skill and art.

If you’re trying to swings swords just make it easier on yourself and listen to Windsor.

We are history enthusiasts and have a child interested in Western Martial Arts so it is meeting both an intellectual curiosity and physical fitness needs. Guy Windsor is an expert and good teacher. His videos can be found online and are amazing to watch. The pictures in the book are invaluable. When a person wants to really study any martial art it is important to do a little reading. Guy goes into WHY things developed this way and it is super fascinating.

Guy breaks the skills down to manageable parts and presents the material in a fun and engaging manner. I have worked with dozens of physical skills instructors and Guy is one of the best. I really enjoyed his integration of tai chi concepts into the program. For anyone stuck on teleconference meetings, get a copy of the book, and a waster. Turn off the video, and then do something useful while everyone else sits around and talks.
