Advanced Longsword: Form and Function

An excellant read

As usual with Master Windsor, this book is the perfect tool to understand and work with a partner on more evolved techniques.Extremely well written and detailed it will be a great help to progress in your HEMA studies of the longsword.I still encourage practitioners to try to attend some of his workshops any time you can. Guy Windsor is an exceptional scholar and maestro di arma and his pedagogy transfers greatly in this book too.A must buy!

The book is written well and easy to follow. Explanations are clear with proper interpretation of old Italian language.

It is a fine book with excellent illustrations, BUT!!! The author uses Italien expression which he has not defined. Instead he refers to another book. Which makes the present book useless.

As with the previous volume, this book is an essential part of any library with a pretension of completeness on the subject of Italian longsword. Mr. Windsor makes the subject accessible and exciting while also keeping it relevant as a martial activity.
