From the Foreword by Neal Stephenson: |Whether you are a writer or game-maker seeking the kind of information I sought while writing The Baroque Cycle, or just a general reader with an interest in the arts to which Guy Windsor has dedicated his career, you should find much that is rewarding in these pages.| This book is a collection of essays and articles, about half of which have been adapted from Guy's successful blog, at guywindsor.com, the rest have never been published before. It is in eight sections: |What is Historical Swordsmanship?| covers some aspects of researching and recreating the Art. |Martial Essentials| covers some of the less-well-understood aspects of what martial arts are and how they work. |Lessons from the Art| covers some of the wider real-world benefits of training, especially dealing with questions of mistakes, risk, and fear. |Swords| describes the main classifications of the weapons we use, and includes discussion of appropriate training tools. |Fighting| includes historical examples of duels, and discussions about the nature of real violence. |Writing Swordfights| is about how swords and swordfights should be represented in fiction, with examples of fights done both well and badly. |Gaming| is a discussion of the ways in which swordsmanship can be adapted for game design purpose. |Training| includes key insights into how we train swordsmanship.|
