Puck & Mary Curtis https://www.puckandmary.com/ "An area devoted to our research into the Spanish true art of defense (la verdadera destreza) - a unique system of fencing developed in Spain in the 16th century."
Christopher Holzman Lulu store Example
Jared Kirby Publications page "This is a selection of texts that Jared Kirby has worked on. From oversight over large translations projects, to doing background research and forwards, as well as authoring entire texts himself."
Ken Mondschein The Art of the Rapier "The Art of the Rapier is a comprehensive manual intended to teach modern people how to fence in the style of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Profusely illustrated with both photographs and examples from period treatises, it is written for three main audiences: devotees of the Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) movement; members of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and other medieval-recreation groups; and coaches of the modern sport of fencing who are looking to expand their competencies."
Reinier van Noort Fallen Rook Publishing "As part of his research, Reinier has produced over 20 translations of fencing texts, has published more than 10 books, and has co-authored several peer-reviewed articles. Examples of translations include the anonymous Vechtboek (UBL BPL 3281), Johannes Georgius Bruchius’s Scherm- ofte Wapen-konste, Johann Georg Pascha’s Kurtze iedoch Deutliche Beschribung handlend von Fechten auff den Stoß und Hieb, Philibert de la Touche’s Vrays Principes de l’Espée seule, and more."
Kaja Sadowski Fear Is the Mind Killer "Fear is the Mind Killer covers the fundamentals of designing a healthy training culture, from policy-writing and classroom strategies, to building drills and stress testing. You'll get a primer on the science of motor learning and motivation, and learn how to work more effectively with underserved populations, including women and survivors of violence."
Jherek Swanger Lulu store "My goal is to produce translations that are as semantically equivalent as possible to the original texts, as well as being readily understandable, in proper modern English."
Piermarco Terminiello Author page "Among other research, he has published an English translation (co-authored) of Francesco Ferdinando Alfieri’s La Scherma (1640); a transcription and English translation of Giuseppe Colombani’s L’Arte maestra (1711); and a transcription of the Biblioteca Trivulziana Cod.256 (c.1680)."
Christian Tobler Fighting with the German Longsword "Recorded over six centuries ago, the teachings of the 14th-century Master-at-Arms Johannes Liechtenauer have been given new life by a world-wide community of modern swordsmen and women, fascinated by the elegance, efficiency and depth of his unique martial art."
