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.
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.
Live Blade Katana (Shinken -- Advanced Students Only)
Folded steel katana, razor edge, 28-inch blade. For advanced students who have completed bokken training. I lend this only after watching you train. If you grip too tight, swing too wild, or show fear of the blade, it stays in my rack. A sharp sword in unskilled hands is a danger to its owner.
Pottery Wheel (Electric, Shimpo VL-Whisper)
Professional-grade Shimpo VL-Whisper pottery wheel. Whisper-quiet motor, variable speed, reversible. Includes bat pins and splash pan. Heavy (30kg) but I can help load.
Electric Cargo Bike -- Babboe City Mountain

Rhythm Workshop -- Complex Time Signatures
Learn to count in 7/8, 5/4, 11/8, and shifting meters. I'll teach you the rhythmic language of The Rite of Spring -- the piece that started a riot. Bring a drum, a table, or just your hands. Rhythm is the most primal element of music.
Block and Tackle Pulley System (4:1 Mechanical Advantage)
My compound pulley design. 4:1 mechanical advantage. Lift 400kg with 100kg of force. I once pulled an entire ship onto shore using one of these to prove a point to King Hieron. Bring your own rope.
Physics & Engineering Tutoring -- Levers, Pulleys, Buoyancy
Hands-on physics lessons using real machines. We'll build levers, compound pulleys, and test buoyancy in water. You'll understand why ships float, how cranes work, and how I held off the Roman navy with math and mirrors.
