The DVD looks at the I.33 manual, an early medieval manuscript from the late 13th or early 14th century that depicts combat using sword and buckler.
Comprising 57 individual technical sections, David's in depth commentary gives additional tactical analysis to help the viewer understand and cross reference the techniques shown, building them into a fluid, well rounded combat system. In this beautifully shot DVD, founder and head instructor of the Boar's Tooth Fightschool and London Longsword Academy David Rawlings gives point by point instruction in the art of combat with sword and buckler, as taught in the earliest known sword-fighting treatise, the 13th-14th century manuscript known as I.33 With assistance from LLA senior Toby Manley, David demonstrates the practicality and efficiency of medieval fighting arts. Nine years later, it is still an excellent interpretation and a valuable learning tool. 'Obsesseo' is the 2011 I.33 Sword and Buckler DVD by David Rawlings and the London Longsword Academy.
