Review: Fantastic Book - This book is a fantastic resource that places arms and techniques in their historical context. The section that lists the most well known arms manuals by country and date is a great jumping off point for anyone wanting to get a start in HEMA.
Review: Excellent supporting book for any HEMA practitioner - This is like a condensed and abridged history of the time periods that the most referenced historical European fighting manuals in HEMA schools were written during. The first-hand accounts were stellar, and the ease of access can't be beaten. It's like having just the chapters out of several history books that I otherwise would have had to hunt down separately. Highly recommend. Contextualizing the techniques is invaluable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent supporting book for any HEMA practitioner

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To better understand not just how they fenced
*by J***S on April 30, 2017*

Richard has done something that historical european martial arts has needed for a long time - context. The fencing cultures of old weren't just affected by the people wielding the sword, but by their worldviews, fashion sense, and ideals surrounding decorum. To better understand not just how they fenced, but *why* is to understand the world around them. Richard's experience as a history teacher shines through - he knows how to combine disparate facts into a narrative that's engaging and human. If you are interested in swords or sword culture, this book is required reading.
