We are proud to announce the launch of Duello.TV, an exciting portal into the Western Martial Arts we practice here at Academie Duello Centre for Swordplay. You can now access lessons on the rapier, sword and shield, and longsword at home, work or on the go.
We’ve been working long and hard on this project for the past 8 months (8 years if you include all the work required to create our curriculum) and now we’re ready to open up to the public.
Every week we are posting new videos to the site based on what we’re currently teaching in class. So you can now advance your skills with lessons that build in complexity as you build in skill.
Sign-up to be a member and we’ll send you a weekly training email that links to that week’s featured videos, solo exercises, and training advice. You’ll also get access to the first two chapters of our Introduction to Italian Rapier DVD. Membership is free!
Sign-up to be a subscriber ($9.95/mo) and you’ll get unlimited access to the entire archive of lessons with more than 200 now online as well as the training blog archives. And you’ll be helping this great project continue to expand. Soon we’ll be adding content from our other programs including the full Introduction to Italian Rapier DVD, archery, mounted combat, stage combat, bartitsu, and our longsword and sidesword focus programs.
Help us grow this awesome repository by signing up here!
