5 of 5 Hurstwick Viking Combat Training (Vol1) January 10, 2021
Reviewer: James Thomas from Tucson, AZ  
Great video!! Real informative on the basics of viking combat. Can't wait until my HEMA group meets up again, to try this stuff out. Had no issues with shipping, and the video(s)(I got Vol2, which is equally as good) came undamaged. Don't know why they don't have vol3, which is on the companys' website. But, this is still a quality product.
