Writing Slowly

My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.

@philipbrewer Thanks! Though different, there are parallels between Shu Ha Ri and the European tradition of apprenticeship. I’m intrigued by how the print revolution impacted HEMA teaching in the Renaissance - an explosion of Fechtbücher and other manuals. Did this obscure the key role of teaching?
