Video info

[Martin,Younger]

Hi I would like to know if anyone has seen this video it is fiore's flower of the battle video. I have been useing books Midieval Swordsmanship and Ringeek's Knightly art of the Longsword but it would be easier for me to use a video becouse i am dyslexia. So if any one has heard of or seen this video let me know what u thought of it and if there are any videos that are good for learning please let me know. http://www.varmouries.com/vvid03.html

Can't say about the video you mention but I highly recommend the video "Medieval Longsword: Basics of German Swordplay." It is available through doguya.com. It is well organized and informative, and good basis for your practice if you can't get to a live instructor. Good for checking your progress, too, when you do have a live instructor.

Also, I would look into "Introduction to the German Longsword" by Jeffrey Forgeng. It is a CD which he sells for the incomparable price of $4.

I've seen it. Some of it is pretty good. Mostly it's a stage-combat approach to things, and is a joke. Mostly.
