Armizare: the Medieval Italian Martial Art
Do you want to learn authentic medieval Italian martial arts and knightly combat?
With a training partner, some simple equipment, and this innovative workbook, you can.
Incorporating over 40 video clips, text instruction, and many images, this workbook is the most up-to-date way to learn the ancient art of Armizare. Armizare is the Italian word for the Art of Arms, as taught by Fiore dei Liberi in his extraordinary treatise The Flower of Battle, written in about 1400.
It is challenging to learn directly from the manuscript, so let the acclaimed and respected researcher, practitioner and teacher Dr. Guy Windsor make it easier for you with this workbook, which includes:
Basic warm-ups
Footwork actions
Wrestling techniques
Attacks and defences with the dagger
Attacks and defences with the longsword
Background information on Fiore and his book
Advice on how to practice
Everybody learns differently, so there are options presented at various points in the workbook, allowing you to choose what to practise next, based on your interests. There are many paths up the mountain, and with this workbook you get to choose your own. The video clips include instruction for both right and left handers. The printed workbooks include abundant space for writing notes, and are available for both right and left-handers.
The workbook is organised into eight classes, for you to take at your own pace. Every movement and technique is clearly described, with images from Fiore's manuscript, and links to video clips showing you the technique in action.
