Saracen Cavalry Training -- Desert Horsemanship
Arabian horse riding, hit-and-run tactics, desert warfare. At Hattin I cut the Crusaders off from water and let the sun finish the job. Tip: In the desert, water is strategy. Control the wells, control the battle.
Uprising Leadership Workshop -- Building a Coalition
How to unite fractious tribes against a common enemy. Managing egos, distributing resources, maintaining alliance cohesion. Tip: People join a cause for different reasons. Give each tribe their reason. But give them ONE leader and ONE plan.
Celtic Longsword & Round Shield (Iron Age Replicas)
Iron Age Celtic longsword (30-inch blade for slashing) and lime-wood round shield with iron boss. The Celts fought with fury and individual skill. The Romans fought with system. Both have their place. Weighted for training.
The Art of War Masterclass -- 13 Chapters Deep
Intensive study of all 13 chapters. Not the motivational poster version. Terrain, espionage, fire attacks, the use of spies. Each chapter is a weapon. Most people read Chapter 1 and think they understand war. They do not. Tip: Know yourself, know your enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
Mamluk Chain Mail & Conical Helmet Set
Riveted chain mail hauberk and conical helmet with nasal guard. Lighter than Crusader plate, better in the heat, flexible enough for mounted archery. My Mamluks wore gear like this at Hattin.
Plains Survival & Tracking Workshop
Reading tracks, finding water on the open plains, building shelter from materials at hand, fire making. My people lived on these plains for thousands of years without a single building. The land provides everything if you know how to ask. Tip: Listen more than you look. The wind carries information.
Relativity Explained -- Thought Experiments for Everyone
Two-hour session. No equations (well, one equation). I'll explain special and general relativity using the same thought experiments I used to discover them. Riding a beam of light. Trains and lightning strikes. Falling elevators. If you can imagine it, you can understand it. Tip: Relativity is not abstract. Your GPS uses it. Without relativistic corrections, your navigation would be off by 10 kilometers per day.
Reconquista Cavalry Training -- Lance & Sword
Mounted combat in the Iberian style. Lance charge, transition to sword, fighting in mixed Christian-Muslim forces. The Reconquista lasted 700 years -- we learned from the Moors as much as we fought them. Tip: Your enemy is also your teacher. Study what defeats you.
Tizona & Colada (Replica Swords of El Cid)
Replicas of my two legendary swords. Tizona -- the firebrand, taken from King Bucar of Morocco. Colada -- won in single combat. Both are straight double-edged blades, 36 inches, designed for mounted and foot combat. A knight carries two swords because battles are long and edges dull.
Naginata Training -- The Warrior Woman's Weapon
The naginata -- a curved blade on a long pole, the traditional weapon of the onna-bugeisha (female warrior). Sweeping cuts, thrusts, and the devastating ankle strikes that unhorse mounted samurai. I will teach you the kata and free sparring. Tip: Reach defeats strength. Keep them at naginata distance and they cannot touch you with a sword.
Viking Navigation Workshop -- Stars, Sunstones & Currents
How the Norse navigated the open Atlantic without compass or sextant. Sunstones (calcite crystals) to find the sun on cloudy days, star patterns, wave reading, bird sighting. I sailed from Scandinavia to Paris to the Mediterranean. Tip: The sea has patterns. Learn them and the ocean is a road, not a barrier.
