Good reading! This school was developed by Duke Paul Bellatrix in the SCA. I really like the detailed explanations on power generation and footwork. Just keep in mind that headshots are legal and lower leg targeting is not in the SCA (hence some of the specific angles and techniques he uses). Despite that, there's a lot of detailed information to be studied.

Duke Paul is a national treasure. He has forgotten more about power generation than most will ever know. I highly advise listening to his interview on www.painbank.com

From what I've heard, read, and seen, Duke Paul is one of the few SCAdians who could show up at, say, Agincourt and expect to live. And kill like 50 guys too.

I totally zone out when I read stuff like this, like my brain is using every available cell to just suck up knowledge.
