Translated and interpreted by Christian Henry Tobler. 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 in 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.
