Historical Weapons Combat

• Historical Weapons Combat deals, as the name implies, with combat with weapons from a historical perspective.
• Historical Weapons Combat is the ideal supplement to Weapons Combat EscrimaT as it is based on similar concepts.
• Historical Weapons Combat primarily uses European weapons.
• Historical Weapons Combat tests the fight validity of European historical fighting manuals.
• Historical Weapons Combat also takes worn historical clothing and protection such as arming jacks, mail and full armour into consideration.
• A general understanding of history will also be a part, when deemed important for understanding the development of weapons.
• A practitioner of Historic Weapons Combat should suplement their training with Weapon Combat Escrima to get a better sense of reality.
• Takes active part in the “Living history” and “re-enactment”

Historical Weapons Combat is part of Kunst des Fechtens and open organisation speciealizicing in the German sword style of Maister Johannes Lichtenauer.

I owe the Chapter Masters of KDF much of my knowledge and understanding of historical combat.
The same goes for my good friend John Waller.
