Graz, from Genua with Sidesword – für’s Seitschwert nach bologneser Art u.a. mit Buckler, Dolch und Mantel

Wir bekommen im Oktober Besuch aus Genua: Daniele, Giulio und Aaron werden ein Seitschwert Seminar abhalten.

The bolognese school is one of the most articulated traditions in western martial arts, presenting a wide range of single and dual weapons among which sidesword is clearly the main player. In this journey through the italian fighting arts of the XVI century we will identify some basic principles of the use of sidesword alone and take a look at how they evolve with the introduction of a secondary weapon In our off-hand, practicing some techniques from the treatises of Manciolino, Marozzo and Dalle Agocchie. Among the many possibilities offered by the bolognese school, we will focus on some secondary weapons of frequent use in civil context, namely buckler, dagger and cape.
