	Johannes Lichtenauer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liechtenauer's teachings are preserved partly in rhyming couplets (possibly intentionally obscured, in order to prevent the uninitiated from learning the techniques he presented, and perhaps to offer a system of mnemonic devices to those who did understand).
		Liechtenauer's system gave rise to what is now called the German school of swordsmanship.
		Already in Liechtenauer's time, instruction in combat (Fechten) was not restricted to a single weapon, but what was taught was rather a variety of techniques for using the longsword, sword and buckler, dagger, messer, and for unarmed grappling in both armoured and unarmoured combat, and sometimes also in mounted combat.

		The principles of Johannes Liechtenauer are of particular importance.
		Johannes Liechtenauer was a fencing master who lived and taught in the 14th century.
		Liechtenauer's influence was so tremendous that even in 1570 Joachim Meyer referred to him in his expansive fighting manual "Gründtliche Beschreibung der kunst des Fechtens".

	Christian H. Tobler German Medieval Martial Arts Workshop
		Liechtenauer, who traveled Europe as a student of the sword during the 1300's, took what he learned on his journeys and created a cohesive system of combat that stood the test of time for 250 years.
		This workshop will be a synthesis of the different Masters' approach to the Liechtenauer material, especially as it pertains to unarmoured and armoured fighting with the longsword, dagger, and hand-to-hand in the 15th Century.
		Tobler was born in 1963 in Paterson, New Jersey.

	Historia: Fighting Manuals
		Johannes appears to have born sometime in the 1320s, probably in Liechtenau in Franconia.
		Liechtenauer wrote down his teachings in a set of cryptic verses, which were designed to intentionally obscure the methods of his art from anyone who had not been trained by the master or his inner circle.
		Breaking the veil of secrecy, the students of Liechtenauer, and then their students, began to write manuals that interpreted the Master’s cryptic verses and explained both the technique, and the philosophy, of his school.

		Now, the first real printing press in the west was that of Johannes Gutenberg, and he printed the Bible in 1455, but everyone loved his ideas and soon his machine was everywhere.
		If by modern we mean the last 10 or 20 years, then the resurgence of Liechtenauer is due to a combination of interest in the printed works and their handwritten antecedants.
		Liechtenauer kept to merkeverse since he was likely not (very) literate; he had to be expanded later on.

		Thus began the teaching of Master Johannes Liechtenauer, the premier master-at-arms of medieval Germany, whose martial art dominated German swordsmanship for over two centuries.
		Liechtenauer spent his youth traveling through Central and Eastern Europe, studying with masters from locales as far-off as Krakow and Prague.
		In the 15th century, Sigmund Ringeck, master-at-arms to Albrecht, Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, and one of the descendants of the “Liechtenauer school,” broke the secrecy, and sought to explain the mysterious verses.

		Liechtenauer's Art of the Long Sword was always presented as the opening section of the many manuscripts which drew from his tradition.
		By this time Liechtenauer's secret system had leaked and both groups were teaching essentially the same "German style" of fencing within the natural variance of skill and interpretation for each master.
		Liechtenauer's longsword system was oriented toward the duel and his verses tell us to learn the "forbidden" moves wisely.

	[No title]
		In the first half of the 15th century Sigmund Ringeck compiled a book with comments on the fencing teachings from Johannes Liechtenauer's verses from c.1389.
		Ringeck's great contribution was that he wrote down comments or Glosa on the very obscure verses of Liechtenauer's teachings, and it is because of these contemporary interpretations that we today can understand Lichtenauer's teachings.
		There is almost certainly a degree of continuity in the system of fencing from Liechtenauer, who lived in the mid 14th century, up to early 17th century masters.

	Sword and Buckler of Liechtenaur
		Liechtenauer formed a “tradition” that continued on and evolved through several generations in late medieval Germany.
		It predates Liechtenauer (c.1389), and is therefore not considered as part of the “Liechtenauer Tradition.” But, as will be seen, there are enough commonalties to suggest that Liechtenauer or Lignitzer may have drawn upon an existing sword and buckler method descended from the material in the I.33 (or “one thirty-three”).
		In this case a “Sturzhau” may be a downward cut with the true edge intended to “plunge” between the opponent’s sword hand and buckler hand to separate them from each other and create an opening (and probably removing one of his thumbs in the process).

	The Boar's Tooth
		It is probably from Southern Germany and is a comprehensive treatise on the use of the sword and buckler (a small fist-held shield) out of armour.
		Johannes Liechtenauer seems to have lived in Germany in the middle and perhaps latter part of the 14thC and wrote down verses in German relating to knightly combat.
		These verses became the basis for many subsequent German masters of arms in the Liechtenauer lineage, the earliest source we have being that attributed to Hanko Doebringer (c.1389).

		Scott has been learning constantly since he started working in this venue, and continues to expand his understanding of medieval and renaissance combat.
		He uses his knowledge of the fighting styles of Liberi and Liechtenauer to bring both realism and excitement to his fights.
		From a choreographing standpoint, Scott recognizes a necessity to occasionally write flashy fights of the sort that audiences want and expect to see, but works to remain relatively true to the historical fight styles of the period.
