What I do
I obsess over cryptic medieval German fencing manuals in an attempt to revitalize the lost martial art known as Kunst des Fechtens. Interested? Find a club near you.

On the pell.
A pell is an upright pole used to train sword techniques. Evidence exists for pell use as part of sword training from Roman times - the pell is useful as a target to strike as well as an obstacle to work around. For examples of how to use a pell to train HEMA techniques, check out my series on Training the Zettel with Pells.
