Macedonian Sarissa (18-foot Pike Replica)
Full-length sarissa pike, 18 feet, cornel wood shaft with iron head and bronze butt-spike. Five ranks of sarissas project beyond the front line -- nothing wants to charge into that. Counterweight at the butt for one-handed use when the crush begins.
Campaign Planning Workshop -- Logistics of Conquest
Half-day workshop on campaign logistics. How I moved 50,000 men from Greece to India across deserts, mountains, and rivers. Supply lines, foraging, forced marches, river crossings. Tip: Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. An army that cannot eat cannot fight.
Kopis Sword & Pelte Shield (Cavalry Set)
Curved kopis blade and small pelte shield. The kopis curves forward -- the weight at the tip means gravity does the work on a downward slash from horseback. This is what the Companions carried after the lance broke. Brutal and efficient.
Plate Armor Fitting & Movement Training
15th century plate armor training. Move, fight, mount a horse, get up from the ground in 50 pounds of steel. Tip: Armor does not make you slow. Bad armor makes you slow. Good armor moves with you.
French Arming Sword (15th Century Replica)
Single-handed arming sword, cruciform hilt, 32-inch blade. Standard Hundred Years War knight's weapon. I rarely drew mine -- my banner was my weapon. But I trained daily. Balanced for one-handed use with shield or on horseback.
Highland Guerrilla Tactics Workshop
Hit-and-run from the hills. Ambush techniques, using terrain to negate cavalry, scorched earth defense. How common men with farm tools beat professional knights. Tip: You do not need to win the war in one battle. You need to make the occupation too expensive to maintain.
Freedom & Resistance Seminar -- Leading the Impossible
When the cause is impossible, how do you lead? Recruitment, morale, operating without resources or official support. Case studies from Scotland, Ireland, the American colonies, and modern resistance movements. Tip: The cause outlives the man. I died badly. Scotland still became free.
Katana & Wakizashi Training Set (Bokken -- Wooden)
Two wooden training swords -- full-length bokken (katana) and short bokken (wakizashi). I killed Sasaki Kojiro with wood. Steel is a privilege, not a right. Master the fundamentals with these before you touch a live blade. Tip: The sword is an extension of your center. Move from the hips, not the arms.
Desert Survival Intensive -- 48 Hours With Nothing
Two days in the desert with a knife and the clothes on your back. Finding water from plants, catching small game, building shade shelters, navigating by stars and landmarks. The Chiricahua Apache lived in this desert for centuries. If you listen to the land, it will keep you alive.
Hunnic Horse Archery -- Ride & Shoot
The Huns were born in the saddle. Composite bow from horseback, forward and backward shooting, feigned retreat with volley fire. Tip: The feigned retreat is the deadliest tactic in cavalry warfare. Pretend to flee, let them chase in disorder, then turn and destroy them. It requires discipline to run and courage to turn.
Hunnic Composite Bow & Bone-Tipped Arrows
Asymmetric Hunnic composite recurve bow with bone siyahs (ear reinforcements). Smaller than the Mongol bow, faster to draw, devastating at close range from horseback. Includes 20 bone-tipped arrows. The bone tip splinters inside the wound -- a cruelty, but effective.
Psychological Warfare Masterclass -- Break Them Before Battle
How to defeat an enemy before the first arrow flies. Reputation management, terror as strategy, negotiation from strength, making examples. Case studies: my campaigns against Rome, Sherman's March, modern information warfare. Tip: The cheapest victory is the one where the enemy surrenders without a fight.
