Medieval martial masters were concerned with teaching all forms of combat, from wrestling to dagger to sword and buckler to longsword to pollaxe, fighting both in and out of armor. Their manuals included instruction in the strategy and tactics of combat as well as the techniques themselves. Die Schlachtschule attempts to match those ancient schools by teaching a complete system of medieval combat, both armored and unarmored.
