A foundation book to use alongside instruction

The practical exercises lead to a positive verdict on the book's illustrations, clear instructions, and Ringeck-centred treatment of alternative interpretations within the Liechtenauer tradition. They can follow the exercises while both working right-handed, even though the guest is naturally left-handed, which supports their judgment of the book's clarity. Its lessons can prepare beginners and help people learning to teach. Readers should then continue in a class or local longsword group, where supervised practice and work with other people can develop those foundations.
