Building on the fundamentals of German swordsmanship shown in Part 1, this second DVD addresses advanced applications, including techniques found outside the "mainstream" of Liechtenauer's fencing system, and a variety of grappling and disarming techniques.

Hans and Alex also show effective training methods from their repertoire, giving the fencer ample resources to refine the already known basic principles and how to approach free fencing.

Finally, concepts and exercises for fighting against multiple attackers top off the DVD, creating a training tool for the modern swordsman unlike any previously available.

For centuries, unarmoured combat with the sword and a small shield, or buckler, was one of the most wide spread martial arts of medieval and Renaissance Europe.

Based on surviving medieval combat treatises and years of martial arts practice, Roland Warzecha and Tobias Wenzel offer an introduction to this fascinating fighting art. Viewers are guided step by step through the fundamentals of body mechanics, tactics and fencing theory. The underlying concepts of historical technique are demonstrated and explained in detail.

As a bonus, the DVD contains a discussion of choosing safety gear and practice weapons, and contains unedited sequences of competitive free play as an example of modern sword and buckler sparring.  

An ideal starting point for your personal training with sword and buckler, this DVD also provides useful insights and cutting edge research for the seasoned practitioner of Western martial arts.

Our Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Extended Pommel is twice as long as our standard scent-stopper pommels giving an extra 6.5cm of grip. This allows for the bulkiest of padded gloves and provides a lot of extra torque in the blade! The Extended Pommel will convert your single hand sword into a Bastard sword and give your Longsword blade an extra-long grip. It is made from a special blend of plastic and powdered metal to increase the weight beyond what is achievable with plastic alone. The threaded brass "supertorque" insert offers much better purchase than conventional inserts allowing for a tight fit. This product glows in the dark! Designed and Manufactured in the U.K.

A lot of time and effort went into the design of these guards. A balance between safety, durability and aesthetics is hard to achieve. They are based on an original 15th century historical design. The balls on the end of the quillons allow for a much safer guard with little risk of impalement. They are manufactured from a very tough plastic which provides a good balance between impact and flexural strength. However, they are plastic and not steel and will break under less pressure than there metal counterparts. If you desire a stronger/heavier guard, we recommend that you purchase a Red Dragon HEMA Stainless Steel Longsword Guard. Designed and Manufactured in the U.K.
