Worthly of a Knight's Attention May 21, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This guide is a perfect directive to historical combat. I use this book to instruct members of the Edmonton chapter of Knights of the Wild Rose. The day the book arrived from Amazon we started working on the quarter staff routines. Unlike the historical fecthbuchs (fight books) of the middle ages English Martial Arts provides clear photos to show stances, blocks and strikes. A hearty mix of weapons are covered within these pages allowing anyone to perform medieval combat. Since we focus on authentic combat in historical armour this resource is a vital component in our repetoire.

This is a delightful book. The photos are excellent and very informative. The writing is solid and clear, giving both history and technique to the reader. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.Terry Brown is able to convey a true appreiciation of the depth of Western martial arts with both his words and his images. Anyone who seriously wishes to learn about these skills should seek out this book and add it to their collection.

Terry Brown has created a masterpiece and the book is of a god like nature compared to others on the subject, he should be awarded for his work. I cant wait for a second publish when he tackles another part of western herritage which is that of English martial arts.
Training, and History December 30, 2000

I found Terry Browns book, English martial arts to be the most informative book I have read concerning the English martial arts, and the western martial arts in general.It is historically accurate, as well as telling the history from a martial artists point of view, as many so called martial arts books are written by people who are not martial artist. The training section, although concerned with only a few of the weapons in the English martial armoury, it is covered thoroughly, and when practiced the techniques are 100% effective, they feel comfortable to execute, as well as leaving you in a safe position after the technique has been done. All in all, Terry Browns book is an informative, historically correct, training manual, that will be in demand long into the future as the bible of English and Western martial arts.
English Martial Arts July 25, 2000

This work is an excellent source for anyone interested in pursuing studies in the Western martial arts. Mr. Brown covers the most popular weapons of the time, with a good deal of background information for each weapon. The techniques are clearly explained, and the accompanying photos are excellent. His no-nonsense approach to these studies will help dispell the MANY myths and misconceptions of the way these weapons were used in combat. A definate MUST read for any serious practitioner, as well as anyone interested in these subjects.Steven Huff - Founder, Historical Martial Study Society smh318@hotmail.com
