As part of Bayt al-Asads curriculum, our students are encouraged to take a weapon thaf has not been explored to a thorough degree in the world of the historical martial arts of the Islamicate world.

For @TheOfficialSaracen 's weapon we have taken the last few months and looked at primary source accounts, art and similar weapons from the region and through experimental archeology techniques including pressure testing we have come to a solid idea or how they were used.

This is only a preview of our discoveries. Stay tuned for full publishing
