Great stuff! I'm pretty self-taught as far as Bolognese goes and Swanger's Dall'Agocchie translation is fantastic imo. Being an experienced martial artist and part of a HEMA club for a while before I started that definitely helped, though.
The harder question would be wjere to start looking for people interested in bolognese sidesword in general >< I've more practice against longsword and anachronistic combinations (late XIXc british sabre and i33) than actual so I can't even pursue the whole thing properly. Should I just bully people into submission like lord Jesus said? Lol
Hm, I opened a sports course at my university - so that got rid of the whole training-partner problem fairly quickly. Training outdoors helps as well. Generally I would advice not trying to convert other historical fencers with a different focus, but just get new people into the hobby :)
@@SchildwachePotsdam This is a gift for a friend, so I think diversity will appeal to him the most. I expect he'd find shield usage especially interesting (especially polearm + shield), as well as spadone usage. However, I understand that the more "interesting" weapons are found in Marozzo. I'm just looking to help him get started, so I don't think Marozzo would be the best choice to get for him.
@@secutorprimus Then the Leoni translation of Manciolino could be it. If he likes to start with single sidesword though, I'd go for dall'Agocchie and expand afterwards.
I was started with Opera Nova and...it's a little bit difficult. 'Cause sometimes he says something like: "I don't say how to do it, because you actually know it", - but I don't🗿 But good one, now i know how to teach my friend to Opera Nova. Yeah, I know Achille Marozzo make his work for his students, but it's not a problem with the good teacher.
@@SchildwachePotsdam For real.. I had a little background, but it was background with Greatsword and Spear/Poleaxe. And it's not was enough. Luckily I had a good Instructor, who was teach Opera Nova kinda....8 years.
Wow! I wish I would have found this video years ago when I started training in Bolognese. An excellent review of each author, translator, and points of interest. Thank you, Schildwache Potsdam!

Excellent video ! It's always difficult to choose the right book to study with, and this helped. Guess I will order With malice & cunning
This is the best, most useful, and concise video for a beginner interested in the Dardi school of swordsmanship anywhere on UA-cam. Thank you.
Very cool thanks.
You're welcome :D I could talk hours about these books^^
Nice video ! Thanks !
Thank you, my pleasure really :)

If after that they still won't follow the Bolognese teachings stone them to death with fencing books.

@@SchildwachePotsdam University sounds like a good place to start, I'll ask the sports fencing section instructor to pass the info!
Thank you for this!

Any amount is highly appreciated, thank you!
So would you recommend Manciolino or Dall'Agocchie more for an absolute beginner into this system?
What weapon (combination) interests you the most?

It's a good book if you already have a knowledgeable instructor or a nice background yourself 😊
