I was searching for John Taylor's "Art of Defense with the Broad Sword and Saber" a couple of days ago and I found a pdf on Alfred Hutton's "Cold Steel: A Practical Treaties on the Sabre " funny because I was thinking of getting his book. swordschoolturku.googlepages.com/cold-steel.pdfIf your a lefty like me, Cold Steel has some plays(drills) for a left hander against a right hander. I'm still looking for John Taylor's book. Does anybody know where I can find it?

That is very cool. I saved the file to my computer. I will have to spend some time and read up on this. Thanks for posting this.

I downloaded it too, and started perusing and practicing a few of the drills. This will be very useful. Thanks Razor! Have a karma point for this one. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Karma from me too ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) More important the owning good swords is learning how to use them to fight.

Thank you guys for the karma. More important the owning good swords is learning how to use them to fight. I agree 100% Tsafa. Daigoro the paperback says it has 208 pages, is it because it's a small book or is there more in the paperback than there is in the pdf? Here is some basket hilt broad sword videos from the Cateran Society. I find that it helps to also see the moves in motion when reading books and trying to learn a new style.
