\u201cUnarmed combat\u201d is the literal translation of a Central European martial art form known as Ringen.

Apparently, Ringen was first developed during the beginning of the Renaissance period by an Austrian grandmaster named Ott Judd.\u00a0 Furthermore, Judd is supposed to have made valuable contributions in many combat treatises that were available during the medieval period in Europe. In addition, the system of Ringen created by Judd was then taught by many fencing masters such as Hans Talhofer, Peter Von Danzing, and Jud Lew. However, Ringen gradually lost its relevance over the years with the last book mentioning this combat form being published in Weigel, Nurnberg titled \u201cLeib-beschirmende und Feinden Trotz-bietende Fecht-Kunst\u201d.<\/p>\n
