Advanced Longsword: Form and Function

Advanced Longsword: Form and Function

This book builds on the foundation laid in The Medieval Longsword, and teaches you how to train Fiore dei Liberiâ€™s Art of Arms, as shown in his 1410 manuscript ll Fior di Battaglia. Renowned swordsman and author Guy Windsor explains three of the longsword forms that are used every day in The School of European Swordsmanship:
â€¢ The Cutting Drill
â€¢ The Farfalla di Ferro
â€¢ THe Longsword Syllabus Form.
Each form is explained step by step and application by application, with abundant photographs and images from Fioreâ€™s manuscript. Guy takes you through each step first as a pair drill, then as part of the form, then as a starting point for further training, or for further research into Il Fior di Battaglia.
Within these pages you will find in-depth instructions and analysis, dozens of tips for how to improve your skills, and enough material for years of study.
Guy Windsor has been training martial arts for 30 years, and teaching professionally since he founded The School of European Swordsmanship in 2001. The School has branches and study groups all over the world. Guyâ€™s other books include The Swordsmanâ€™s Companion, The Duellistâ€™s Companion, Veni Vadi Vici, Mastering the Art of Arms volume 1: The Medieval Dagger, and Mastering the Art of Arms volume 2: The Medieval Longsword.
