Description

Advanced Longsword Form and Function by Guy Windsor is a comprehensive guide to training Fiore dei Liberi's Art of Arms, as shown in his 1410 manuscript ll Fior di Battaglia. This book builds upon the foundation laid in The Medieval Longsword, teaching you how to train three essential longsword forms used every day in The School of European Swordsmanship.

Renowned swordsman and author Guy Windsor explains each form step by step, with abundant photographs and images from Fiore's manuscript. You'll learn how to apply the techniques first as a pair drill, then as part of the form, and finally as a starting point for further training or research into Il Fior di Battaglia.

With in-depth instructions and analysis, dozens of tips for improving your skills, and enough material for years of study, this book is an ideal resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of longsword technique. Guy Windsor's expertise and experience as a martial artist and teacher make this a valuable addition to any training program.
