About Writer
Larry L Andrews

I live a secluded life, when I can, in the woodlands of PA working in my studio and enjoying life with my wife and daughter.

I’ve been an artist all my life, and subject to many disciplines, I draw, paint (airbush, acrylics, inks, and pastels,) sculpt, design web pages, metal smith, cartoonist, historian, and author. My interests are wide ranged in those disciplines and I remain ever growing. As one can see I’m a bit of a renaissance man. I am currently working on my next gallery show, which is a series of portraits of working class women.

I am a historical martial artist bringing to my books 30 years of experience in training and fighting with the ancient weapons of Eastern and Western warrior cultures. I’ve spent the better part of my life researching ancient master’s personal combat manuals, testing, and applying their lessons through academic and hands on research. I have been a personal instructor of historical martial arts for two decades, educating various living history organizations on how the weapons they carry were actually used. I regularly holds seminars covering such subjects as full contact armored and unarmored weapons combat, grappling, the sling, the atl-atl, archery, spear throwing, and axe throwing. I am a metal smith specializing in custom made combat ready weapons, and the author of three books; The Cutting Edge, broadsword and targe, The Cutting Edge, the complete edition, third edition, and Lessons from the Warrior Sage.
