LEARN FROM A PRACTICING PROFESSIONAL: It’s easier than working from a 600 YEAR OLD BOOK WRITTEN IN ITALIAN

I’m Guy Windsor and I love swords. I have been actively training for 30+ years and I have been teaching for over 20 of them.

Swords have literally been my life’s work and I have spent years digging through old books learning the skills and techniques to become a master of the art of arms.
When I started out there were no new books or online courses on the topic, I had to interpret text written in Italian that is over half a millennium old.

It was difficult, to say the least. This is why I have made it my goal to distil this information and my expertise down into easy-to-access formats such as books and online courses.

That’s why I have put together this special offer for my bestselling book “The Medieval Longsword”: so you don’t have to go through the struggles that I did when I first got started.

In this book I have laid everything out for you, step-by-step to take you from complete novice to competent fencer. There are even some advanced tips and tricks for those with a previous background in the arts.


Here's What I'll Cover In This Book

  • Introduction: covering how to approach your practice, who Fiore dei Liberi was, and what his manuscript contains.
  • Tools of the Trade: everything you need to know about equipment: training weapons and protective equipment.
  • General Principles: describing the fundamental principles behind all martial arts techniques.
  • Footwork: how to stand, step, and turn, according to Fiore’s teachings.
  • One Strike, One Defence: one basic attack, and one basic defence.
  • More Strikes, More Defences: as you learn more attacks, you also learn how to defend against them.
  • Counter Remedies and their Counters: how to get around your partner’s defences, and what to do if your partner manages to get around your defence.
  • Binds, Malice, and Deceit: how to manipulate the blade relationship to take advantage of the situation, and how to fake out your partner.
  • Preparing for Freeplay: taking your technical knowledge and training to be able to really apply it.
  • Freeplay: how to set up safe sparring sessions.
  • Bonus: We also add how to warm up safely, and a glossary of Italian terms.

For Just $7 You Will Have Access To All Of The Information You Need to Succeed With The Longsword

What Other Have to Say...

Guy Windsor is not just one of the finest HEMA instructors publishing today, in my opinion he's one of the best martial arts teachers full stop. There's everything you need here to train yourself and a friend in the basics of medieval European swordsmanship. Guy takes an exceptionally thorough approach with guidance on proper training equipment, an explanation of the biomechanics involved in the art of the sword, before moving on to footwork, fundamental blows and some of the most lucid instruction in Fiore's system you're ever likely to find. The book wraps up with material on freeplay, the organisation of Fiore's system for use with medieval memory methods, and an overview of warmups, mobility and stretching for classes. – B. W. Ford

The book is written in an extremely logical and clear order. I don't in fact think I have ever seen a martial arts manual that would be as easy to follow. It gives you one piece at a time to chew and practice and does not try to explain everything at once. What's even better, it puts you in contact with the original source from the very beginning. – Jaakko Tahkokallio

I found it particularly useful as an instructor, especially since Guy's spent years refining both his interpretations of the sources and his teaching method. There's a lot to learn about how to teach, how to structure a curriculum, and how to get students ready for freeplay, all cunningly disguised as straightforward, easily read and understood instructions. – Roland Cooper

This book (and Guy's other books) really provides an accessible gateway to the Italian system of combat arts. Not only is it a great book for people new to the art, but also for experienced swordsmen. As someone who has taught Eastern martial for many years and currently teaches longsword and rapier, I still find new perspectives from which to consider the art of the sword, new drills, and new ways to teach. – James Wran

This book by Armizare instructor and writer Guy Windsor is a fantastic book for those new to the art or a seasoned veteran. It is laid out very well and is clear and concise. I run an Italian swordfighting club and use parts of this book in my own classes. Guy's way of laying out the fundamentals and techniques of the plays of Fiore dei Liberi are easily understood and can easily be performed via partner drills. Buy this book and others by Guy. You will not be disappointed. – Tracy Mellow
