There is a position equivalent to the Chudan kamae - the position used in Kendo and Kenjutsu as a preliminary fighting position. Chudan kamae, however should not be confused with Pflug. The position used, at least amongst the Liechtenauer tradition is known as Sprechfenster . The logic of the positi...

It's not that the Art is evolving (it hasn't been fully resurrected yet and has no environment to shape it), but our understanding of the Art is evolving. I'm one of those old timers (10 years now) Sal mentioned and we definitely see and understand things differently now than we did back when I beg...

Well, I think I remember John saying explicitly that Fuhlen is not achieved anywhere else than when contact is made with your opponent. I agree with John. But yeah, I'd agree that you're on the right track, James, and I hope someday you'd consider applying for membership and/or meeting some of us i...

I had to ask how could Dobringer include all of the teachings of Liechtenauer in a poem consisting of 350 lines, then it occured to me that this verse like the Prose and Poetic Eddas, were constructed in such a way that each line of the verse might have multiple meanings (keep in mind this is but m...

It makes me glad to see that there is evolution in the Art taking place after all the is a name for things which do not evolve.......extinct. I look forward to eventually seeing this for my self. I can't get over the paradox you've introduced here Tim - the evolution of something that IS extinct......

Two things: 1. Some of those videos are fairly old. 2. In many casesyou only need to bind for a second or two to know which technique to use, so your actual bind time is pretty short. Interesting. So the interpretation of Binding has changed in ARMA over time? The one's I have seen are dated 2007. ...

I was interested as to know what ARMA's approach to Binden is. I have watched many of the videos on this site and YouTube and wonder why there has been little emphasis on Binden? Given the emphasis that is given in the resources for "Feeling" the strength or weakness of the Bind - how can ...

That's odd, the posts which were here last night have gone? Replaced by arrows? It makes sense that the ARMA would prefer to keep its discoveries to its paying members (at least until the discoveries have been tested by said members). The articles have been written fairly recently, I was just wonder...

... mainly five specific elements we focus on now Hope that helps. That certainly helps a little, thank you Sal. Are the five elements the Scale, Motion, Bind (& Feel), Winding, Time (Vor and Nach)? These are mentioned in John's article. It certainly is intriguing (and exciting). As a guest her...

Hello everyone, I am looking forward to taking part in the discussions here on the ARMA forum. Although I have taken part in the practice of using historical weapons (with emphasis on the Lichtenawer recitals) for the last ten years, I have not taken part in any meetings with ARMA members directly. ...
