A Slovenian group of martial artists who study in the the European (rather than Asian) tradition have recreated the wrestling moves from the Thott 290 2ยบ manuscript, written in 1459 by Hans Talhoffer. It looks like they had a lot of work to do, since each move only had a single illustration. Fascinating stuff.
