The publisher. Joachim Mayer was born in , Switzerland, around 1537, possibly the son of Jacob Meyer, a clerical, and Anna Freund. He became a burger, marrying a widow in 1560, most likely during his apprenticeship as a cutlery. He made a living as a cutlery and professional fencer until 1570, in which year he published his art of wrestling - a book that made him famous. The making of this book, however, left him in deep debt, and the search for potential buyers led him to leave Strasbourg and work as a weapons master at the court of Duke Schwerin. Unfortunately, he died shortly after his arrival, on 24 February 1571, at the age of only thirty-four, leaving the burden of his debt to his widow and her. Jeffrey L Forgeng is curator of the Worcester Art Museum Higgins Collection, the second largest collection of weapons and armor in America, and teaches as an associate professor of history at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

The first edition of Grundtlich Besreibung der Kunst de Fechtens was published in Strasbourg by Tibolt Berger in 1570, exactly one year before Meyer's death; it may have been reissued there in 1590.

First published in 1570, Joachim Meyer's The Art of Combat is one of the most important texts of the rich corps of German treatises on the martial arts of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Meyer is unique in that he offers complete recommendations on how to prepare for different forms of weapons. He divides his book into five parts by weapon type: Longsworth; dusack (practical weapon similar to saber); Rapier; Dagger; and a regular weapon. For each weapon, Meyer outlines the principles of its use and vocabulary of techniques, and then describes a number of specific devices, combinations of attacks for use in combat. This rational approach, along with Meyer's well-known and abundant illustrations of woodcut, makes this crucial to understand the history and techniques of medieval and Renaissance martial arts. In the first-ever translation of this important work into English, Geoffrey Forjng sought to improve the accessibility of the text. His Introduction is the first substantial account to be published in English by the German fechtbuch corps, and the glossary is also the first of its kind to be published in English.

One big thing I left with here was the screaming, screaming. Basically, Meyer teaches you how to fence, of course, but there are many - that I think - extraneous movements. There's also a note about pushing being banned by the government of the time to give you an idea. Of course, I'm biased - I come from the school Liechtenauer, which aims to end the struggle as simple, This is a comment to the treatise itself - not a translation of Forgeng, which is excellent, as is his intro essay.

There's also a note about pushing being banned by the government of the time to give you an idea. Of course, I'm biased - I come from a Liechtenauer school that tends to finish the fight as simple and deadly as possible. Meyer is still a key part of the German tradition, and my opinion is likely to change with some experience trying to put Meyer's devices into action, but for now I will stick to PPvD, Ringeck, and 3227a as my fencing guide. ...

Fascinating and highly recommended. Read the full review here. Firetrench Experts agree that this is one of the best existing treaties regarding German medieval martial arts, written with the vocation of intent to expose the methods for their training. A curious and interesting book. Read the full Spanish review here. Jose Manuel Rico Cortes (Mr. JM) - Miniaturas JM If you're interested in how people actually fought in the early modern era, or just want to be able to visualize the duel between Romeo and Tybalt, The Art of Sword Fighting is a book that will tell you everything you need to know. Medievalists.net charm, too little-known, and a vividly illustrated volume, Meyer's Art of Wrestling is particularly notable for its attention to dealing with halberds, pikes and quarterstaffs. Military and cultural historians, as well as those interested in stage combat, will find a priceless Professor James Shapiro Very good presentation of Meyers' work. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to study the battle of the Renaissance. Jeffrey Colon, Amazon Reviewer This very interesting modern book about Renaissance martial arts shows a step in the development of medieval martial arts in the fight for sport. Only the section on (cut and thrust) rapiers is designed for serious combat. Long word, dussack and halberd, knife and pike sections for sparring for sport. As such it is a very interesting book that demonstrates George Silver's statement that wrestling school masters do not teach cravings and rapiers of school masters do not teach the cut. As modern Western martial arts enthusiasts fight for the sport rather than in the life-and-death situation you would think that this style of wrestling will suit them well. On the other hand, they may feel that the lack of shoving in the section (main section) leaves a gap that better fill the medieval guides that exist. I don't know about any other modern guides that relate to dussack and this section is particularly valuable for this reason. In general a very interesting book that shows how the medieval style of wrestling is changing in sports late 16th century. M.
