Reclaiming the Blade explores both European and Asian historic swordplay and offers an in-depth look at the fascinating world of stage combat on the silver screen. Also it is going to be narrated by John Rhys-Davies! If you don't know who that is, go rent the extended Lord of the Rings trilogy immediately and surrender the next day of your life to a great story. John Rhys-Davies is the one in the dwarf outfit holding the cool axes. He also played Sallah in the Indiana Jones movies.

The ancient practitioners lent us all they knew through their manuscripts. As gunslingers of the Renaissance they were western heroes with swords, and they lived and died by them. Yet today their history remains cloaked under a shadow of legend..."
