The Way of Least Resistance

Just in time for the Christmas season, I'm proud to announce the publication of 3 of my instructional martial arts DVDs today (one is a re-issue to facilitate a download version which is coming soon). These are: Internalising Karate Bridging Hard and Soft Vol. 1: Fundamentals The Chinese Long Sabre: Chang Dao For a description of these DVDs go  here ! The direct download versions of the above videos are now available in the US but it will take another week or two for them to become available in other countries. Copyright © 2015 Dejan Djurdjevic

This is Australian-New Zealand sword-fighter Samantha Swords (at first I thought it was her real name - but it is of course just a nom de plume!). She who won the longsword competition last year at the Harcourt Park World Invitational Jousting Tournament. Here is a fascinating interview with Samantha.  She discusses her training in Historic European Martial Arts which includes an array of traditional weapons (the longsword is only one) as well as unarmed fighting. It's inspiring and well worth watching - especially for any of my young female readers out there. You can learn more about Samantha on her  website . Copyright © 2014 Dejan Djurdjevic
