Whats happening, Damon. I wrote a poetry book and Id like you to have your copy of it. Here's the link:www.amazon.com/Thus-As-Eric-Michael-Weston/dp/1539643069/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1478132148&sr=8-5&keywords=eric+weston
Beautiful technigue Da'Mon. I have one question: When it comes to basic strikes and work with aa two-handed axe, is it not better to always follow through after a strike, since the axe-head carries so much inertia? Is there any evidence of different styles like that in the Egyptian iconography?
Charles-John Jenerou from the time period? Unfortunately not. Our reconstruction is based on intrepreting the wall art, comparing living traditions like stick fighting, an understanding of body mechanics and Egyptian warfare and a lot of theory crafting and earnest peactice. i am afraid that that is the best we can do as of now.
