Hammerterz
Forum collected issues
Hammerterz Forum ran
from 1994
to 1999 and remains the premier journal of western sword
arts. While
most
of the world was getting their information from Hollywood,
editor Christoph
Amberger was publishing articles and information
that would
eventually
spark and anchor a massive research boom in European
swordsmanship.
Amberger
not only researched the subject, he is one of the very few
people I'm
aware
of who has actually participated in duels with
"sharps". As
a member of two of the most respected duelling
fraternities in Germany
he fought seven Mensuren with the bell-guard and
basket-hilt
Schläger
between 1985 and 1987.
Chris has given
SDKsupplies
permission to collect and offer Hammerterz Forum to
those who were not
fortunate enough to obtain the journal as it was
published. This is
"must
have" information for any serious student of the sword
and SDKsupplies
is extremely pleased to be able to provide it once
again. Some
reprinted
articles from HF can be seen at The
Journal of Western Martial Arts.
Hammerterz Forum
Collected
is 8x10 inches, and cerlox bound. It is 364 pages
covering the Summer
of
1994 to the Fall of 1999, the complete print run.

FREE E-BOOKS FROM
SDKSUPPLIES.COM
These books are in epub format. You will need an e-reader
such as
Calibre on your computer/tablet, or a dedicated reader
such as Kobo.
Firefox also has an add-on reader. If all else fails, open
the file
with a zip program and read the html files.
Much as I'd love to offer these ebooks for sale, they
would likely not
be big
sellers. I spent several years researching each book, and
I believe
they have a contribution to make so they are here for your
use. If you
figure they are worth something to you, recruit a new
student to your
club, try a class yourself, organize a self defence
session or buy
something from this catalogue. There's always a way to pay
it back.

This book of photography and poetry from Kim Taylor, has
nothing at all
to do with the martial arts or self defense. It contains
some of Kim's
fine art nude photography (nothing graphic) so don't
download it if
you're looking for yet another way to smack someone with a
stick. The
book is here because I told some folks it would be here.
By the way,
it's a big book, byte-wise because of the photos so be
patient with
your kobo as it loads. E-pub format
I know you guys can rip and
burn
the DVDs, copy the videotapes and photocopy the manuals,
and in the
interests of spreading the art, maintaining my sanity
and simple time
constraints, I'm likely not going to come after you if
you do, but hey,
we don't really charge all that much for what you get
and those
payments help produce more instructional material.
If you want to
share these materials around why not just drop us a line
and ask us
about bulk discounts.
And please remember, you
don't
own copyright on this stuff so for the good of your own
karma don't go
copying and selling it. It's a small community and we do
