The Longsword of Philippo Vadi - Dr. Guy Windsor
Спорт
Philippo Vadi wrote his treatise De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi (The Art of Sword Fighting in Earnest) for the Duke of Urbino some time between 1482 and 1487. It includes 16 chapters of longsword fencing theory, and illustrated groups of plays on the longsword out of armour, longsword in armour, pollax, spear, and dagger.
In this class we will cover the main points of Vadi’s longsword, concentrating on the areas where he differs from Fiore. This will be based on my translation and interpretation of De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi. You can find a free copy of the translation here.

In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!

I kinda regret clicking the "like" button because I pushed the count up to 70.
After Jo Yorks workshop at the gathering I am just in love with Vadi❤
Merging this in with Jamie and Connor's interpretations is gonna be wild.
Great workshop, thanks!
Ok as a fiorist this is WEIRD but I love it, I’ll definitely be looking closer at Vadi
as a person who has started studying Vadi just this year may i say this is an unexpected treat!

You're welcome! :)
Watching in the very first day!
So half-cutting is something done from a bind, leading in with the hands and diagonally covering space with the sword? I can see that working in a duel without armour, but there must be much less power behind such a cut? So it depends on context (setting up for a thrust afterwards, engage in wrestling or disengage and create distance)? I´m not a HEMA person, but I found this really intriguing c",)
I think this video went well (50:31)
Thank Mr Guy Windsor for this masterpiece!
Martin running from one side to the other is the best part lol
