Welcome!

 

 

I am a consulting swordsman, teacher, and writer. I research and teach medieval and Renaissance Italian swordsmanship (I have a PhD in recreating historical martial arts), blog about it, write books about it, have developed a card game to teach it (which involved founding another company, and crowdfunding), and run Swordschool. And as if that wasn't enough, you can even contact me here. I look forward to hearing from you.

You’re probably holding your sword wrong. Here’s why.

One of my students mentioned tendonitis problems in his wrist on the Swordschool Discord server this week. It’s probably caused by holding his sword incorrectly, which forces the small stabiliser muscles to do more work than they evolved for. He is by no means the first student I’ve seen with this problem. It has been […]
