Sword and Shield - 3 Basic Principles

3 basic principles for fighting with Sword and Shield. Achille Marozzo is one of the few historical sources that teaches to fight with the sword and a big shield. While his "Imbracciatura" (= strapped shield) seems fairly special, the techniques he shows us can easily applied to a wide array of earlier shields as well. So if you want to fight with a pavise, a kite shield or a knightly triangle shield, this text could give you some historical (although later) context and some interesting exercises and insights. 00:00 Intro 01:04 1.
