Hello again. I was wondering if anyone knew of medieval knife fighting techniques, manuals, etc. I know that Maier taught some, in addition to some really interesting weapons. Trouble is, I can't get I.33 online. Anywhere else? Thanks. And any other information, of course.

I found a good site on online manuals ranging from 1:33, greatsword, rapier, exc.

There's also some good videos of dagger plays on youtube as well

Hope this helps!

Check out this book by respected ARMA member Jay Vail...

I happen to know Jay pretty well, as we both train at the same karate school, and he is one of the better medieval-styled fighters I've seen. The man does everything- WMA, JSA, karate... but his area of expertise is dagger combat.

This book is well worth a read. Speaking of that, I really need to get my own copy! ;D I've read it before, borrowing a copy, but I don't have one myself... Thanks for reminding me.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Brogdon Combs
