A variety of subjects covered by these three PDF articles which I recently finished :arrow:

Fight-Book Clues to Quality and Build of Knightly Weaponry
http://www.thearma.org/essays/quality-and-build.html

Getting Punchy – Fist-Fighting, Wrestling and Fight-Books
http://www.thearma.org/essays/getting-punchy.html

Duel of Theobald versus Seitz – Germany, 1370
http://www.thearma.org/essays/theobald-seitz.html

Plus this book-review:

The Royal Book of Horsemanship, Jousting & Knightly Combat
http://www.thearma.org/bookreviews.htm

In the PDF of Getting Punchy, I revised the last paragraph of "Differing tradition", thus making for a new revised edition of the work that you can download from the same HTML foyer :arrow:

http://thearma.org/essays/getting-punchy.html

(The new PDF does say "Revised Edition" on the title-page.)

It now states much better what I meant to say about presumed safety measures in training at German Ringen, by replacing some redundant text in that paragraph with some text that is much more specific and explanatory.

So I would be grateful if you were to download the revised edition, either as replacement of previous or for the first time, and read & enjoy. My apologies for any confusion and trouble.

My regards,

Very interesting articles and I'm giving them a bump as well recommending that people have a look.

Sort of puzzled about the lack of comments so far ?
