Es handelt sich um ein Fachbuch, das Seinesgleichen sucht. Es ist voll von Hintergrundinformationen und praktischen Anwendungen über den Schwertkampf. Es beinhaltet nicht alle historischen Waffengattungen, sondern konzentriert sich speziell und dafür ausführlich auf Schwert&Schild sowie Anderthalbhänder, was für viele Stunden des Studiums ausreicht.

This big-formated book has 324 pages full of illustrated and described techniques. Nevertheles the specialized knowledge is not getting too brief: the book starts with a complete descibtion of medieval swords, shilds, making of medieval swords and historical combat-manuals. Then follow techniques for sword&shild and the long sword. All techniques are very well illustrated und support the writing very good. Also very interesting are the writings about wounds and combat with different weapons against each other.
At the end J.Clemens wrote some thoughts about sparring, fantasy, stage-combat and so on. A clear list of sources concludes his book. It is a extraordinary book, fullfilled with backgroundinformation and practical methods about swordsmanship. It contains not all historical weaponry but concentrates on sword&shild and the long sword very specificly and detailed, which keeps the student of mediveal swordsmanship busy for many hours.
The purpose of "Medieval Swordsmanship" is to introduce the reader to Historical European Swordsmanship as a martial art. This, however, is an uphill battle in of itself, as most of Western swordsmanship today includes sport fencing, stage combat, theatrical fighting, etc. Furthermore, Western society has found little application for swordplay outside of creating dramatic value for stage or screen.
However, the writer indeed succeeds in defining Historical European Swordsmanship as a valid martial art for today that can be studied for the purposes and principles of effective warfare.
The methodologies illustrated by this book range from sword & shield to the use of longsword while in plate armor. Clements unambiguously presents these techniques - which derived from period manuals written by historical Masters of Defense - in intuitive graphics for the modern reader.
The book will benefit anyone ranging from the complete beginner to the advanced theatrical combatant in the entertianment industry - without requiring the academic experience in historical documentation to fathom the material in the book.
If you are seeking to study Historical European Swordsmanship as a martial art and as something that is part of your Western heritage, I cannot more highly recommend this book.
