Bolognese Longsword: For The Modern Practitioner
In my debut book I explain in plain English how to use the sword in two hands of 16th century Bologna, Italy. While plenty of how to's have been written for longsword, this is the very first English language one for the Bolognese tradition. If you're interested in exploring a new tradition, or just want someone to help explain how to sword good, this is the book for you.
Coaching Cohort
The Fool of Swords Coaching Cohort is a roughly three month long, online program that aims to introduce you to the science behind motor skill acquisition paired with a pedagogical approach that centers on giving students autonomy over their own learning journeys. If you are looking to improve your coaching, help lift up your community, or just take your own fencing to the next level; this is the course for you.
