Autorenporträt
No author has done more to reveal this lost world of German knightly martial arts to a modern audience than Christian Tobler. Written just after the turn of the millennium, Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship (2001) was the first complete English translation of a medieval fighting text combined with a textual and photographic interpretation of its hundreds of techniques. Since then, he has gone on to publish three translation-editions of other 15th-century combat treatises, an extensive, fully illustrated training guide for students interested in the practical study of the art (Fighting with the German Longsword). In Saint George's Name (2010), was an anthology of essays on the art.
