Every sword fighter faces the challenge of overcoming an unfavourable blade bind. This course teaches you how to break free and seize control when the odds are against you, providing a clear, practical framework for regaining the upper hand.


Using examples from medieval sword-and-buckler fencing, the concepts are easily transferable to longsword, rapier, messer, and universally to any sword discipline. Refine your craft, and unlock the tools to reclaim control, and turn the fight in your favour.





This course is for you …

  • if you want to take your sword & buckler fighting to the next level
  • if you are a competetive sword fighter, and want to improve your skills
  • if you seek expertise in timing and binding with any bladed weapon
  • if you are an author or director, and want to add depth and realism to your fight sequences

I am working through your excellent I.33 course with some friends. It is superbly laid out and easy to follow.


Stefan von Bischoffshausen says:

Focusing on the two-phase step, as advocated in your I.33 course, I saw a huge change in the way my training partners engage in a fight. Improvement has been much faster than I had anticipated.
