    Guy Windsor has been training swordsmen and swordswomen for a very long time. This short book distills his principles of training swordsmanship into seven key ideas, divided into three internal principles, and four external principles. They are:

    3) Adopt Useful Beliefs

    External:
    4) No Injuries
    5) The Pareto Principle
    6) Run a Diagnostic
    7) Distinguish between knowledge and skill

    This essential short guide describes each principle, and gives exercises for developing your ability to apply each of them.
    Follow these for maximum effectiveness in your art, work, and life.

    Guy Windsor

    I am a swordsmanship practitioner, instructor, researcher, writer, and also an entrepreneur. My mission in life is to restore European martial arts to their rightful place at the heart of our culture. Be prepared for earth-shattering revelations regarding the art of swordsmanship, and how it is the single best path through life yet invented. Check out my blog, my books, and the syllabus I have developed. I am also involved in crowd-funding, and helping other writers and swordsmanship enthusiasts. FAQs 1) Why Swordsmanship? The art deserves the place I want for it because it has the capacity to hook people out of mediocrity and into their best, dare I say knightly, selves. For a significant subset of the population, the sword is the best, most effective, most natural tool for getting in touch with who they aspire to be. And it is my job to help them with that difficult and often painful process. I do this by providing training opportunities: organised classes, a space to train in, a set of authentic, historically accurate combat systems to study, and by teaching classes, seminars and private lessons. For a fuller answer, see here. 2) Why Finland? Why not? It's a great place to live and to bring up my kids. No, my wife is not Finnish, and no, I don't like snow very much. For a fuller answer, see here. 3) How do I start training? My school has branches and study groups in all sorts of places, and an excellent url: www.swordschool.com 4) What else do you do? I am married with two kids, which doesn't leave a lot of time (or inclination) for extra stuff, but every now and then I get into the shed to do some woodwork.
