This is a chat with a HEMA instructor on how one might define expertise, how practitioners go about reconstruction swordsmanship (and other fighting styles) from historical sources, and other related topics. There are also some tips for beginners who want to get into medieval and renaissance martial arts, and a general discussion of martially viable techniques vs. art forms.
