Posted on behalf of the Martinez Academy:

One of the world's best-known professional teachers of traditional fencing,
Maestro Ramon Martinez is internationally recognized as the foremost
>authority
on La Verdadera Destreza, the Spanish school of rapier fence. For several
years, many interested parties have contacted Maestro Martinez, seeking
information about this fascinating, but much-misunderstood, martial art.
Now,
in association with Palpable Hit Productions, the Martinez Academy of Arms
is
pleased to announce the release of "La Verdadera Destreza, the True Art and
Skill of Spanish Swordsmanship," a basic introductory video course on
Spanish
rapier fencing.

The fruit of almost a quarter-century of research and practical experience,
these two one-hour videos present fundamental techniques in a simple form
comprehensible to the modern swordsman training without a master, and reveal
to
the public, for first time, the truth behind the erroneously termed "Magic
Circle" in an easy, step-by-step manner. "The True Art and Skill"
demonstrates
the applied geometry on which the Spanish school is founded, the wisdom
found
within the treatises of Spanish masters Don Jeronimo Sanchez de Carranza and
Don Luis Pacheco de Narvaez.

The contents of Volume 1 include instruction and drills covering:

·    Weapon and Blade Selection
·    Proper Grip
·    Positions of the Hand
·    Proper Stance
·    Footwork
·    Blade Actions and Oppositions
·    Developing Sensitivity
·    Building Your Own Circle

Building upon the foundation of skills presented in Volume 1, contents of
Volume 2 include instruction and drills covering:

·    Movemientos
·    Cuts
·    Thrusts
·    Defensive Blade Actions
·    Dagger Selection and Grip
·    Attack and Defense with Rapier and Dagger

If ordered by June 15, Volume 1 and Volume 2 are available for only $34.95
per
volume or $59.95 for the whole set in VHS or PAL format. After June 15,
prices
increase to $69.95 for the set. (All prices are U.S. dollars and do not
include
shipping and handling.)
