About Feder & Pell
Welcome!
I am William Buschur, member of Capital Kunst des Fechtens. I obsess about old fencing manuals.
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.

I designed the collapsible pells featured on this site for my club, Capital Kunst Des Fechtens, and have withstood heavy use for years. They're easy to break down and set up - take a look at it here: The Club Pell.
I'll be happy to make you a single pell or double pell! The double version opens a range of training options not possible with a singe pell.
