The Principles and Practices of Solo Training: A Guide for Historical Martial Artists, Sword People, and Everyone Else - Guy Windsor

The Principles and Practices of Solo Training by Guy Windsor is a practical guide for anyone studying historical martial arts without regular access to a partner or club. Whether training between sessions, living far from a HEMA community, or just starting out, this book addresses the real challenges of maintaining and improving skill through solo practice.

Windsor covers how to structure effective solo sessions, build physical and technical skill without a training partner, and stay motivated and on track over the long term. Practical and grounded, this guide is written for historical martial artists specifically, but its principles apply broadly to sword people and solo practitioners of any discipline.

A valuable resource for filling the gaps between club sessions, building a home training routine, or simply getting more out of the time you spend training alone.
