Title - just wondering if I can redownload it now or not

I'm just looking for modern guides on solo sidesword in the Bolognese style. Nowhere near me teaches Bolognese, so I'm really looking for something I can use myself.

I'm very familiar with the Youtube and Patreon guys (e.g. Schhildwache Potsdam, St Louis Ken Harding, Illka Outto, Duello) and a very helpful Reddit contributor that I believe is with Scholars of Alcala (whose stuff is very useful).

I'm also familiar with the translations and reorganisations such as Swanger, Reiner van Noort and Tom Leoni and the Swordsmanship book by Sala d’Arme Achille Marozzo (which from my reading is more of a collection of translations than giving a huge amount of guidance on its own merit).

What I'm looking for though is more so a book that focuses on ideas and principles in Bolognese fencing such as body mechanics, how to move, stepping (which seems lacking everywhere). I don't really really need another run through the guards and strikes (although orientation of the body while in the guards would be something I'd like to get a better idea of as there seems to be inconsistency).

I think Ken Harding is the best I've found for this kind of content, my only issue is that there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of structure to his videos on Patreon - they jump around a lot and a lot of topics start without a follow up or finishing out a particular set.

I'm looking for a book but would be open to an online course or set of videos if they covered the things I'm looking at and didn't drop off suddenly.

Thanks!

Just wondering what the norm is here? Customs couldn’t help and told me it’s in revenues hands and there’s no way to check in with them or speed it up. 2 full weeks to inspect seems like a bit of a joke
