The Earliest evidence of an Eskirmological Combative System was that designated the product of Johannes Lichtnawer.



(Renaissance) Scholars could not accept that fighting could encompass the use of both the edge and the point of a sword in fighting, and thence arose a powerful and irrecoverable polarity amongst those who pursued purely cutting and those who pursued purely thrusting.


Combined, these elements form the Eskirmological Method. It is a science based, not solely upon human fighting (as is the case with Hoplology), but of the fighting existing between all living creatures (Acutt, 2009, 146-150). It's aim is to identify the logic behind all physical interactions between living beings.

There may be interesting info in the publications, but there are too much details that reeks of the usual "there is only one true way of combat".

I have a strong suspicion that James Wallhausen is Jamie Acutt. The former posts on SFI promoting this weird site, which cites 'Acutt'.

He is posting on SFI at the moment, and he sometimes posts on the HA forums.

Funny, a Google search of 'Jamie Acutt Wallhausen' comes up with this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/tag/combat%20system/products/A3H0FIOTJLAE13

Note:

J. Acutt "magister85" tags / combat system products

The bullshitter seems to be back.

I'll do more digging.

Interesting website about Eskirmology.

http://www.martialartsunited.com/page.php?id=eskirmology

Check out who registered and owns it:

http://whois.domaintools.com/martialartsunited.com

None other than:

jamie acutt
15 buttery close
honiton, honiton ex14 2fb


Check out this other 'book' by James Wallhausen

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Martial-Arts-Delusion-James-Wallhausen/dp/1470920336/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342820450&sr=1-1

Cross ref with this quote from Martial Arts United dot com

"Acutt, 2009; The Martial Arts Delusion, Unpublished Manuscript.
This manuscript outlined the fundamental reasoning for the existence and history of Eskirmology."

Surprise f*cking surprise. Wallhausen is Acutt. Or vice-versa.

Yes, ZA lit up with warnings. Steer clear unless you have a cast iron FW and AV.

The Acutt = Wallhausen development is interesting. That's some damn fine police work there Bob. ;) Will be interesting to see if and how James responds on SFI.

Edit: for the benefit of those fairly new to the HEMA scene, or those who have forgotten, take a trip down memory lane by travelling back to 2003:

I have made this thread public, for the greater good.

http://www.swordforum.com/forums/showth ... l-Arts-com

Current evidence suggests that James Wallhausen and Jamie Acutt are one and the same person. Given the terrible reputation Mr. Acutt gained for himself a few years ago, it is not surprising if he has decided to now go under a different name.
