Posted on 2009 under Medieval Martial Arts | No Comment

Having studies rapier fighting, I’m always in search of new resources for learning Medieval styles of swordsmanship. One of my favorite web sources is The Association for Renaissance Martial Arts.

codexOn there website, I found a collection of images from the Codex Wallerstein – circa 1470. With nearly 200 images, the codex shows various armed and unarmed techniques. Anyone interested in Medieval martial arts will appreciate this collection of illustations.

Also included is an introduction to the Codex Wallerstein which provides explanations for the images.
