So, what do you get to study when you join fight medieval?
Here is a little over-view of what we do…
Lutegerus; Sword & Buckler.
Sword & buckler is the subject of the earliest known fencing manual (late thirteenth-early fourteenth century).
Commonly known by it’s catalogue number I.33, the manual shows a priest teaching varied students the art of fencing.
The system uses intelligent manipulation of distance, binds and traps, to immobilize the opponent’s blade, before entering and finishing the fight.
Fight-medieval and Boar’s Tooth are world leaders in the reconstruction of this system.
…
Liechtenauer; Long-sword.
liechtenauer style, covers the work of several authors who (starting in the fourteenth century) commented on the work of master Johanns liechtenauer, and his previously orally transmitted teachings.
Liechtenauer travelled widely learning from many masters, and compiling all the systems that he encountered into one, He, as they say, absorbed what was useful.
What we refer to as Liechtenauer longsword, in fact covers many disciplines, long sword, dagger, messer ,wrestling, and more…all based on this high-masters work.
…
Thibault; Rapier.
The “new” discipline for fight medieval and the boar’s tooth.
Based on the work of Girard Thibault, a seventeenth century sword master.
Thibault dealt with the superiority of the straight line, and the advantage of subjecting the opponents sword.
An excellent and vital counter point to the Liechtenauer longsword, Thibault’s logics offer both contrary and complimentary outlooks on the art.
There is more…
but that’s enough for now:)
