Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship: Sigmund Ringeck's Commentaries on Johannes Liechtenauer's Verse by Sigmund Ringeck, Christian Henry Tobler (Editor)

From the Publisher

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.
