5.0 out of 5 stars1 product rating

In his first book, and the first of its kind, Christian Henry Tobler presents a beautifully interpreted study of fighting techniques recorded in the mnemonic verse of the legendary German swordmaster, Johannes Liechtenauer. Johannes Liechtenauer was a 14th century German fencing master born in the mid 1300s. In this lavishly photo-illustrated text, Christian presents a full translation and interpretation of the so-called Ringeck Fechtbuch, a mid-15th century compendium of teachings in the Liechtenauer tradition. At once bold and martially efficient, these classic techniques of swordsmanship have proven their enduring allure.

Author Biography
Sigmund Ringeck was master-at-arms to Albrecht, Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria in the 15th century. Johannes Liechtenauer was the premier master-at-arms of medieval Germany, whose martial art dominated German swordsmanship for over two centuries. Christian Henry Tobler has been a longtime student of swordsmanship, especially as it applies to the pursuit of the chivalric ideals. A passionate advocate of the medieval Liechtenauer School, his work in translating and interpreting Sigmund Ringbeck's commentary firmly established him as an important contributor to the growing community of Western martial arts.

Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship
I have wanted this book for sometime now. I am in the process of reading and have found what I have read very interesting and informative on the subject in question. I have had the pleasure several times of seeing Christian fight and employ the methods he has interpreted for us in this book. I would recommend this item to anyone interested in the subject or who is study medieval combat.
