Awesome stuff.

That's great. Do you guys have any video of your PHM staff (even if not from the same event)? I would be curious to see how it looked like.

Looks like a great demo Dave, you and your guys look very professional as usual.

I'm wondering about this bit " started of by explaining the concept of mnemonic naming that runs through the Liechtenaur tradition of sword arts," this is something I'm very interested in but haven't seen much discussion of in public circles in any detail. Are your interpretations of this mnemonic system available anywhere in the public domain or only on your DvD's?

Hi BD, it always leads to arguments about the nature of plough and fool so I keep discussion to a minimum;)
Glad to banter about it if you want, drop me a pm.

I'm full up on PM's in my box on here but I'll friend you on facebook and we can discuss there.
