Description
Polearms of Paulus Hector Mair is a comprehensive guide to combat with Renaissance polearm weaponry. In the 16th century, German fencing master Paulus Hector Mair compiled and preserved fighting traditions for future generations. This modern work elaborates on Mair's Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica, a reference compendium on the combative arts of the Liechtenauer tradition.
The book explores combat with specific categories of polearms, including the spear, shortstaff, lance, longstaff, halberd, and poleax. Restored illustrations provide readers with clear depictions of fighting techniques, accompanied by the original German and Latin texts and easy-to-follow English translations. A full bibliography and glossary are also included.
This historical treasure is a valuable resource for anyone studying or interested in Renaissance martial arts training. It is also available as a hardcover edition from Echo Point Books.
