Book Reviews of Sigmund Ringeck's Knightly Arts of Combat: Sword and Buckler Fighting, Wrestling, and Fighting in Armor

Book Review: Sigmund Ringeck
Summary: 4 Stars

A good book for those interested in historical swordplay. The text is accompanied by many drawn illustrations, which make the techniques much easier to understand. It is clear western martial arts were every bit as lethal as the better known eastern martial arts, and the heart of the techniques Ringeck teaches, allow the user to kill or maim his opponent very quickly and effectively. A very worthwhile addition to the bookshelves of any practitioner of swordplay and for those interested in how ancient weapons were really used.
