Hi all, with this series I hope to address a few of your requests. First, the second Assalto of Achille Marozzo is quite a bit more complicated - so a detailed "how to" was in order anyway. Additionally it focuses on transitioning from wide into narrow play, which is an awesome area to work on. So in the upcoming months I'll film whenever I find the time. Be patient however, since I am finishin...

Pietro Monte gives us a glimpse into the early development of two-handed sword fighting, in his Collectanea, written in the early 1490’s. As a Renaissance general and master of arms, he taught fighting skills to nobles and men-at-arms in the court of the Sforza’s in Milan, and is referenced as an authority by both Castiglione and Leonardo da Vinci. What is particularly interesting, is he lays o...

Here is your dose of fencing theory musings for the weekend: Ridolfo Capo Ferro explains his tempo theory by distinguishing between movement and stillness. Indeed, imagining the phases between fencing actions as pauses makes sense to gain an understanding of what happens in a fight in temporal terms.
