Product Description
Synopsis
In the late 14th century, Master Johannes Liechtenauer developed a deadly form of martial art that fully integrated sword, spear, dagger and grappling, in and out of armour, on foot and on horseback. Founding a school of swordsmanship that would dominate Germany for centuries, he recorded his teachings into cryptic mnemonic verses and swore his students to secrecy. In the 15th century, Sigmund Ringeck, a master of the "Liechtenauer school", broke the secrecy and explained the verses in detailed instructions. Christian Henry Tobler has rendered this key text into English for the first time, and provides photographic interpretations of each technique of this "secret" martial art.

4.0 out of 5 stars A dedicated interpretation., 25 Sep 2002
Christian Henry Tobler has done a good and dedicated work in his interpretations of Lichtenauers verses and Sigmund Ringnecks comments on these verses. It is definitely not an easy task mr Tobler has done and there are most certain some interpretations that can be questioned from different points of view but this is a good book.
The quality of the book is good, the paper and printing quality is high and the images are sharp but it is sometimes a little difficult to disinguish details due to the forrest background, especially at a quick glance.
This is a good book, buy it.
