: Re: Learning about hand-to-hand combat? I am writing heroic fantasy. Plot demands hand-to-hand combat, about which I know little. What is the best/quickest way to learn enough about pre-firearms defense

I would suggest doing some field research if possible. This helps develop a network of contacts that you can use to help you write accurately.

You could look up a history professor at your local college that might specialize in warrior cultures.

Another possible source is to hang out at local martial arts dojos/tournaments, and take notes on their body movements, or talk to them directly.

A history museum with exhibits about warrior cultures could provide information you're looking.

As a last resort, I guess you could just research it on the internet, but where's the fun in that?
