Germany Editorial Review
The Art of Combat is a valuable resource for those interested in ancient combative arts, specifically longsword fighting. The quality of the book is excellent, with good typesetting, binding and translation. While there are no significant pictures in the book, the woodcuts can serve as helpful learning tools. The instructions can be vague at times, but are often described more explicitly in other sections of the manual, making it necessary to read the entire book. A glossary is included for ease of use. The 1568 version is recommended as it provides a different explanation and uses different vocabulary. This classic work is an invaluable resource for serious students of longsword fighting and recommended for those just getting started as well.
