| Hey folks,
I've gone ahead and made my Swetnam writeup available online for anyone who's interested. For those who don't know the name, Swetnam is an early 17th century Englishman who taught a simple, practical system which combined elements from contemporary rapier masters and traditional English backsword play.

This works:

It may not hypertext but just copy paste it.
Very nice and polished. One thing you may want to consider is have pictures of someone actually standing with the correct footwork, or someone with the correct guard displayed, as opposed to all the ovals and floatingswords. It puts it in a much more useful perspective, imho. |
