About Ian Carmichael
I began my study of martial arts with Tae Kwon Do, kickboxing, and wrestling. In high school, I was introduced to the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), and researched their historical basis, eventually discovering an image from an old Spanish fencing text. This quickly launched me into the world of Historical European Martial Arts, and I now practice with Boston Armizare and teach wrestling and dagger. Translation has been a continual passion as I investigate the sources and seek to understand them more intimately, and the products of that work are available here.
