I hope this forum is the right place for this. MY new artilce on Persian swordsmanship is published in the academic journal of the University of Leon.

Moshtagh Khorasani, Manouchehr (2009d). Las Técnicas de la Esgrima Persa. Revista de Artes Marciales Asiáticas. Volumen 4, Número 1, pp. 20–49.

This article is based on many primary sources and is the first written on Persian swordsmanship.

Kind regards
Manouchehr

Congrats Manoucher,

Two questions:

1) What language is the aritcle in?
2) Is it available online?

hello,
one question - what time period or era of Persian history the so called Persian swordsmanship belongs to?
Is it Ilkhanid etc?
is it Safavid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safavid_dynasty ?
or Qajar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qajar_dynasty ?
or anything earlier or later?

also since this article is in Spanish, could you elucidate on the subject of Persian swordsmanship a bit more, perhaps about its origin ?
