Apache Bow & War Club Set
Short mulberry bow and stone-headed war club. The Apache bow is compact -- made for horseback and tight canyon fights. The war club is last resort, close quarters. Light enough to carry all day, deadly enough to end any argument.
Field Fortification Workshop -- Build a Roman Camp
Hands-on workshop building a Roman marching camp. Ditch, rampart, palisade, gates, interior layout. At Alesia I built two walls -- one facing in to trap Vercingetorix, one facing out to stop his relief army. Tip: If you can build, you can hold. If you can hold, you can win.
Political Rhetoric & Persuasion Seminar
I wrote the Gallic Wars while fighting them. Clear writing is clear thinking. Public speaking, written persuasion, political maneuvering. Cicero was better with words. I was better with timing. Tip: Write in the third person. It makes you sound inevitable.
Centurion's Vine Staff (Vitis) & Pugio Dagger
The vine staff was the centurion's badge of office and disciplinary tool. The pugio was the last-resort dagger. Cassius used one on me. Authentic reproductions for historical reenactment and display.
Inspirational Leadership Workshop -- Lead Without Authority
I had no rank, no education, no training. I led because I believed and they saw it. How to lead with nothing but conviction. Speaking to crowds, rallying morale, hard decisions. Tip: Do not ask people to follow you. Walk toward the danger and see who comes.
Joan's Banner (Replica -- Fleur-de-lis on White)
Full-size replica of my war banner -- white linen, painted angels, fleur-de-lis, JHESUS MARIA. I carried this instead of a sword. I told the court: I loved my banner forty times more than my sword. The banner never killed anyone. It gave men something to follow.
Plate Armor Fitting & Movement Training
15th century plate armor training. Move, fight, mount a horse, get up from the ground in 50 pounds of steel. Tip: Armor does not make you slow. Bad armor makes you slow. Good armor moves with you.
French Arming Sword (15th Century Replica)
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.
Scottish Claymore (Two-Handed Greatsword)
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.
Highland Guerrilla Tactics Workshop
Hit-and-run from the hills. Ambush techniques, using terrain to negate cavalry, scorched earth defense. How common men with farm tools beat professional knights. Tip: You do not need to win the war in one battle. You need to make the occupation too expensive to maintain.
Scottish Targe Shield & Dirk Set
Round targe shield (20 inches, studded leather over wood) and 12-inch dirk dagger. The Highlander's backup weapons. The targe catches the blade, the dirk finishes the work. I will teach you the off-hand techniques that made Highland warriors feared in close quarters.
Singing for Non-Singers -- Charm Over Range
Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and the Gershwins all wrote songs specifically for my voice -- and I had barely one octave. The trick isn't range. It's phrasing, charm, and meaning every word. We work on selling a song with personality instead of power. Tip: If you can speak it convincingly, you can sing it.
