I’ve been a student of the bladed arts for over 40 years and counting. Anything with a blade, both fighting and throwing, in styles encompassing the European (Italian / French / Spanish Rapier and Dagger, broadsword, smallsword, saber, axe, etc), Japanese katana and the Filipino bladed arts, and I do it all from horseback. Please visit the SKILLS chapters at my web site (http://www.delongis.com/Skills.html) to see me in action.
