It has come to my attention that I have been studying and practicing the German Liechtenauer tradition and Meyer for twenty years now. I cannot easily express to readers how much this tradition and its teachings have brought into my life. I have a legacy of memories, moments, and achievements to reflect on. The experiences and relationships I have formed while doing this have been priceless.
When I hold my trusty Albion in my hand (which, at this point, has been with me most all of my 20 years) I am overcome with many feelings. I’m so glad I have this in my life.
As one of my Circle brothers said one day:
There is just something spiritual about this. If I don’t do it, I get depressed. If I do, I don’t.
