Apache Bow & War Club Set
Short mulberry bow and stone-headed war club. The Apache bow is compact -- made for horseback and tight canyon fights. The war club is last resort, close quarters. Light enough to carry all day, deadly enough to end any argument.
Field Fortification Workshop -- Build a Roman Camp
Hands-on workshop building a Roman marching camp. Ditch, rampart, palisade, gates, interior layout. At Alesia I built two walls -- one facing in to trap Vercingetorix, one facing out to stop his relief army. Tip: If you can build, you can hold. If you can hold, you can win.
Political Rhetoric & Persuasion Seminar
I wrote the Gallic Wars while fighting them. Clear writing is clear thinking. Public speaking, written persuasion, political maneuvering. Cicero was better with words. I was better with timing. Tip: Write in the third person. It makes you sound inevitable.
Centurion's Vine Staff (Vitis) & Pugio Dagger
The vine staff was the centurion's badge of office and disciplinary tool. The pugio was the last-resort dagger. Cassius used one on me. Authentic reproductions for historical reenactment and display.
Inspirational Leadership Workshop -- Lead Without Authority
I had no rank, no education, no training. I led because I believed and they saw it. How to lead with nothing but conviction. Speaking to crowds, rallying morale, hard decisions. Tip: Do not ask people to follow you. Walk toward the danger and see who comes.
Joan's Banner (Replica -- Fleur-de-lis on White)
Full-size replica of my war banner -- white linen, painted angels, fleur-de-lis, JHESUS MARIA. I carried this instead of a sword. I told the court: I loved my banner forty times more than my sword. The banner never killed anyone. It gave men something to follow.
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.
Scottish Claymore (Two-Handed Greatsword)
66-inch two-handed claymore, the weapon of the Scottish Highlands. Designed for sweeping cuts that clear a path through armored men. My own claymore was reportedly taller than most men. The reach advantage against sword-and-shield is decisive if you have the strength.
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.
Scottish Targe Shield & Dirk Set
Round targe shield (20 inches, studded leather over wood) and 12-inch dirk dagger. The Highlander's backup weapons. The targe catches the blade, the dirk finishes the work. I will teach you the off-hand techniques that made Highland warriors feared in close quarters.
Technical Drawing & Drafting Workshop
Learn to draw precise engineering plans by hand. T-square, compass, protractor, French curves. Before CAD, this is how every machine was designed. I drew every component of the 1903 Flyer by hand, to scale. If you can draw it accurately, you can build it accurately. If you can't draw it, you don't understand it well enough.
