In Issue #4 of Modern Knives, Bob Charron of St. Martin's Academy of Medieval Arms joins us as our special guest in a segment covering the basics of using the dagger according to famous Medieval Master Fiore DeLiberi. Bob gets into some of the master key concepts to understanding and correctly practicing Fiore's art as well as covering the basic guards, ways of attack with the dagger, priorities of defense and much more.
James Keating brings us a wild segment on old-time cowboy pistol twirling that will have you itching to go and try some six-gun spinnin' yourself. This is unlike anything you have seen before, except in the movies. This unique piece of American history and physical culture is presented not as a way of "going and getting in a gunfight" but as a way of appreciating the single-action revolver and gaining the ability to handle it in a way that others can not.
Pete Kautz shares some ideas on the German Medieval Dagger of Master Andre Lignitzer. Master Lignitzer's techniques were recorded in the VonDanzig Manuscript that was translated into English by Christian Henry Tobler (Author "Secrets of Medieval German Swordsmanship"). These basic techniques offer insight into the Medieval German style of fighting, both with and without the dagger.
We have TWO video reviews this time, starting with “The Longsword of Johannes Liechtennhauer” by Alex Kapelmayer and Hans Heim of the German Historical Martial Arts group Ochs. This is a beautifully produced "History Channel Quality" DVD on the use of the German longsword. Beginning with the most fundamental movements and evolving into some advanced theory this DVD is a must have for anyone serious about this weapon. This DVD is available from Chivalry Bookshelf.
Our second review is “La Canne: The Walking Stick Method of Self Defense” by Craig Germiner of Savate Australia. On this DVD available from Paladin Press Craig shows the power and modern applicability of the "walking stick method of self defense" according to the principles of the old French "streetfighting" Savate. If you carry a cane or know someone who does, then this information could be priceless. This is a very martial style of stick fighting than what most people have ever seen!
Musical guest If Man Is Five joins us and we hear excerpts from their songs "Aria" and "My Nightmare" off of their 2005 CD "Pain is the Story Blood is the Ink". Visit them at their website http://blackazul.com/ifmanisfive for more music, photos, info, and to get CDs of this hot alternative band that is truly hard to classify, blending operatic and classical elements into the punk and metal maelstrom.
