MAP Good Deed for the Day! Hi bigevil... You may find a starting point to groups, books and stuff through these links: You may even want to look around the previous posts on this WMA forum for contacts on this weaponry..... http://www.thehaca.com/ http://www.aemma.org/aboutAEMMA_top.htm http://www.maisters.demon.co.uk/index.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/4933/westernarts.html http://www.hemac.org/ Good Luck with thew search Louie
I have a little page up that shows some of the battle axe research I have been doing on the side of my regular martial interests. I need to retake all of the pictures with better form but at least you can get some type of idea. http://mywebpage.netscape.com/neohemas/page1.html
The dane axe was-acording to my experienced friend; Colin Richards used very much like a spear; a lot of thrusting, and not the Quarterstaff-way of fighting that I once thought. (With a dane-axe you can thrust, chop and hook, and it is a very nice weapon to have in the battleline; assisted by long spear that can exploit the openings that the axe makes!
Thanks...yes I did make them but they are deadly! They weight too much entirely to be used for more than form work. I have to make some with leather heads for bouting.
I had to take a break with most of my time being used in preparation for the ISMAC in Lansing this past weekend. Now that that is over I have some free martial time until October when I am teaching at the WMAW in NY......hopefully in a year or two I will be able to start presenting what I am working at during the various conventions.
cool. ive been rather interested in your research and mayhaps Ill be able to go to some of the later cons and see it in person
