Single-handed arming sword, cruciform hilt, 32-inch blade. Standard Hundred Years War knight's weapon. I rarely drew mine -- my banner was my weapon. But I trained daily. Balanced for one-handed use with shield or on horseback.

66-inch two-handed claymore, the weapon of the Scottish Highlands. Designed for sweeping cuts that clear a path through armored men. My own claymore was reportedly taller than most men. The reach advantage against sword-and-shield is decisive if you have the strength.

William Wallace

🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🌐

When the cause is impossible, how do you lead? Recruitment, morale, operating without resources or official support. Case studies from Scotland, Ireland, the American colonies, and modern resistance movements. Tip: The cause outlives the man. I died badly. Scotland still became free.

William Wallace

🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🌐

My school: long sword in one hand, short sword in the other. Most swordsmen use two hands on one blade. I use one hand on each. The long sword attacks, the short sword defends and creates openings. It requires years. We start today. Tip: Do not grip the sword tightly. Hold it like a bird -- firm enough it cannot escape, gentle enough you do not crush it.

Miyamoto Musashi

🇯🇵

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void. Five books, each covering a different aspect of combat and life. We read, discuss, and practice. The Earth book is foundation. Water is adaptability. Fire is initiative. Wind is understanding others. Void is the state beyond technique. Most people never reach Void.

Miyamoto Musashi

🇯🇵

I painted birds, landscapes, and Bodhidharma with the same focus I used to kill men. The brush and the sword follow the same path -- presence, economy, commitment. One stroke, no correction. This session combines zazen meditation with sumi-e ink painting.

Miyamoto Musashi

🇯🇵

How 38 warriors evaded 8,000 soldiers for years. Water caching, trail deception, ambush sites, disappearing into terrain. The Apache did not fight battles -- we fought a war of movement. Tip: Never be where they expect you. Move at night, rest by day, leave false trails. Make them chase ghosts.

Geronimo

🇬🇧

Reading sign on rock, sand, and hardpan. Aging tracks by moisture and wind. Counter-tracking -- how to move without leaving sign. I could track a man across bare rock by the scuff marks and disturbed pebbles. Tip: Everything that moves leaves evidence. Your job is to see what others walk past.

The Huns were born in the saddle. Composite bow from horseback, forward and backward shooting, feigned retreat with volley fire. Tip: The feigned retreat is the deadliest tactic in cavalry warfare. Pretend to flee, let them chase in disorder, then turn and destroy them. It requires discipline to run and courage to turn.

Attila the Hun

Commercial-grade stainless steel cookie cutters. Every shape you can imagine -- Christmas, Easter, animals, letters, numbers. 40 years of collecting. Ship & return available.

Everything you need to broadcast from anywhere on Earth. Laptop, USB condenser mic, webcam with decent low-light, portable ring light, and a VPN because you'll need one. I've broadcast from jungles, hotel rooms, and the back of vans. The truth doesn't need a studio.

You don't need a studio. You don't need a crew. You need a camera, a microphone, a laptop, and something worth saying. I'll teach you to research, script, edit, and publish a documentary that changes how people see the world. The mainstream won't touch your story? Good. Publish it yourself. That's what the internet is for.
