Guy Windsor – Solo Historical Martial Arts Training Course

Solo training is the secret behind all truly excellent martial artists’ accomplishments. All world class sword people and martial artists spend much of their training time on solo training.

If you live miles away from the nearest fellow martial artist, don’t worry, this course does not require training partners. Instead we cover everything you can reasonably do alone to improve your swordsmanship skills.

If you have regular access to a school or training partners, you can still dramatically up your game by incorporating intelligent solo training into your schedule. This course will teach you how.

On this course you will learn ways of developing your mind, your body, and your technical skills, no matter what your ing point is. From absolute beginner to senior martial artist, we have you covered.

The Solo Training course includes these standalone courses:

• Meditation for Martial Artists This course covers four different kinds of meditation, aimed at improving your state of mind and making you a better martial artist.
• Fundamentals: Breathing This course will teach you how to breathe properly, and how to develop anaerobic and aerobic fitness without injuring yourself.
• Fundamentals: Footwork This course will teach you how to move like a martial artist, whatever style you wish to practice.
• Recreating Historical Swordsmanship from Historical Sources This course will teach you how to study the sources and create useful training syllabi from them. Most of such work can indeed be done alone.

Plus:

Jessica Finley (author of the book Medieval Wrestling) will teach you solo wrestling training.

Gindi Wauchope (professional historical swordsmanship teacher from Melbourne, Australia) will teach you Bolognese swordsmanship, with the sidesword, sword and buckler, and the two-handed sword.

Guy Windsor will teach you to train alone with

• • The Longsword
  • The Rapier
  • The Smallsword
  • The Spear
  • I.33 style Sword and Buckler

As well as instruction on:

Sometimes all this choice can be overwhelming, so there are over 30 trainalong workout routines lead by Guy, each about 40 minutes long, and requiring very little space or equipment. Just hit play and join in!

The breadth and depth of this course is spectacular, providing years of training material.
