Customer Review: Guy Windsor teaches at the fencing school he founded in Helsinki, Finland (School of European Swordsmanship).

Customer Review: A very text book approach to sword play. Couple this with some excellent, though unrelated, videos on you tube and it is a great training reference.

Customer Review: Very clear and complete explaination of the use of the longsword in medieval germany, for beginner and intermediate swordman. I'm waiting for his new book... I hope...
