Overview"In the late 14th century, Master Johannes Liechtenauer developed a deadly form of martial art that fully integrated sword, spear, dagger and grappling, in and out of armour, on foot and on horseback. Founding a school of swordsmanship that would dominate Germany for centuries, he recorded his teachings into cryptic mnemonic verses and swore his students to secrecy. In the 15th century, Sigmund Ringeck, a master of the ""Liechtenauer school"", broke the secrecy and explained the verses in detailed instructions. Christian Henry Tobler has rendered this key text into English for the first time, and provides photographic interpretations of each technique of this ""secret"" martial art."

Johannes Liechtenauer was the premier master-at-arms of medieval Germany, whose martial art dominated German swordsmanship for over two centuries. Christian Henry Tobler has been a longtime student of swordsmanship, especially as it applies to the pursuit of the chivalric ideals. A passionate advocate of the medieval Liechtenauer School, his work in translating and interpreting Sigmund Ringbeck's commentary firmly established him as an important contributor to the growing community of Western martial arts.
