Abstract
This team researched the traditions and techniques of medieval martial arts in Europe. After developing a detailed research document based on studying historical manuscripts and modern interpretations of the techniques for armored and unarmored combat, the team produced a video documentary for the Higgins Armory Museum. Approximately fifteen minutes in length, this documentary combines historical sources with modern reconstructions to present the purposes and techniques of wrestling, sword, staff, and armored combat to visitors at the Higgins Armory.
