Historical Martial Arts have come a long way. When I started out, there were no maps, no guides—just manuscripts and guesswork.

Now? There’s so much material out there, beginners often don’t know where to start.

That’s why I’ve created something new:

Introduction to the Art of Arms: Get Started in Historical Martial Arts​

This set of online courses gives you a clear, structured introduction to the Art of Arms. Minimal gear and no prior experience required—just curiosity.

We start with:

• Core movement and mechanics
• Basic weapons handling

​Then you’ll explore two full beginner courses:

• Fiore’s Armizare – 15th-century knightly combat: longsword, dagger, wrestling
• Capoferro’s Rapier – early 17th-century duelling: elegant and deadly

​Explore Other Traditions

You’ll also get thorough taster sessions from other traditions:

• Vadi’s Longsword
• Liechtenauer’s Longsword
• Von Baumann’s Wrestling
• Bolognese Swordsmanship
• Sword & Buckler from I.33

​It’s like a guided tour of the historical martial arts landscape—so you can find what suits you best.

How much does it cost?

I don’t think beginners should have to spend hundreds of dollars just to try something out. So this course is:

• $10/month (subscription)
• Cancel anytime
• 30-day money-back guarantee
