Longsword

About this event

The Longsword, sometimes referred to the 'hand-and-a-half sword' is predominantly used in both hands, but can be used single handed. Our longsword curriculum is based on the techniques found in Fior dei Battaglia, a medieval combat manuscript written by Fiore di Liberi in 1409. As students progress they also study from Filippo Vadi's manuscript De Arte Gladitoria Dimicandi written between 1482 - 1487. In addition to training to fight at a distance, students will also study the use of the dagger and wrestling within the context of the sword fight.
