The art and science of fencing, like any other martial or movement art is best learned under the expert guidance of a quality teacher. In many areas, Masters of Arms and professional instructors who are both powerful fencers and who have been trained in pedagogical methods may prove difficult to find and/or study with on a regular basis.
In the hope of providing some guidance and professional instruction to serious individuals who do not usually have access to a trained professional, Martinez Academy of Arms in conjunction with Palpable Hit Productions have created and produced instructional DVDs in the use of historical European weapons. This DVD series has been the first of its kind in offering a methodical and reasoned approach to the use of historical weapons from a trained fencing professional with over thirty years of research and practice concerning the subjects.
These are designed to provide introductory lessons in short sequences. The lessons are easy to understand, facilitating the individual in acquiring basic skills on condition that the lessons are diligently followed and practiced meticulously. With the aid of these DVDs a dedicated practitioner should be able to build a reasonable understanding of the theoretical and practical foundations of the science of fencing. This understanding will be of great benefit in unlocking the greater complexities of the art beyond the foundational skill set.
