Failure and the Journey of Success

Devon Boorman November 21, 2016

It can be challenging to fail your own students. I care for them and empathize with both the disappointment and frustration. As a teacher I share in those feelings as I am a direct part of each student’s journey.

The Blog is for Scholars, too!

The DuelloTV Training Blog is an incredible resource of over 200 articles. We think this treasure should be accessible to more people, so we’ve added full blog archive access to the Scholars Club subscription. Now Scholars and Masters club subscribers can gain valuable insights into many areas of swordplay (and life) training:

How to be a long-term practitioner
How to be a good training partner
Tournaments and their place in the life of a martial artist
Recognize how you learn and maximize your environment for success
Getting through low points in your personal motivation
Search the blog articles for keywords, weapons and topics

The list of articles is long, and every aspiring martial artist will do well to absorb this advice and use it to strengthen them along the journey. Enjoy the blog, and let us know what effect it’s having on your training!

Free Month of Full Access + Rapier Strategy Lesson

Hi all,

Devon here. The first weapon I started with in HEMA, 23 years ago, was the rapier. The speed, precision, and chess-game of it—along with a bit of musketeer fantasy—really captured me. It is a discipline I feel is highly under-represented and often misunderstood in the HEMA community of today, even though it was arguably the seed of our modern resurgence. It is also one of the best teachers of combative efficiency, timing, and distance.

I believe the journey of mastery is best pursued across disciplines. Each weapon has unique lessons to share with us as martial artists, fighters, and teachers. This is a model we see in the manuals of the old masters and we’ve sought to preserve it on Duello.TV.

This video lesson on Stringere and Constraint is one of the most notable lessons I learned from my pursuit of the rapier and has become a central model for combative strategy and tactics across all the weapons I teach. I hope you enjoy it and get some insight from it as a teacher and practitioner.
