Fiore Mounted Techniques Part 1

First part of our interpretation of the Fiore plays on horseback. Fiore de Liberi is one of the main authors from the 15th century that tells us detailed descriptions on how to fight with various medieval weapons, together with vairous other authors from several European countries These manuscripts are the foundation of the study of Historical European Martial Arts. At the same time we base our riding style on the writings of the Old Masters, who describe the way in which a warhorse is trained and ridden, with a very high emphasis on 'collection', where the horse is deeply crouching with the hindlegs and lift into a proud crest in front, making them brave, maneuverable, controllable and able to deliver strong acceleration. we are mostly looking at the lance plays, we filmed this in an afternoon as a discussion piece, though some of the techniques were hidden behind the horses, so they are not included here. We normally focus largely on german sources so we are not too familiar with the italian style and it had been 15 years since i had last tried these techniques, and the first ever time in gallop. Hence we feel a bit more at home in the German techniques as a comparison the attack to the pursuer is show in two German versions too from Talhoffer and Falkner. this was filmed over a year ago, so we did not want to wait until we could edit all the 30 something plays together in one video. With lances at a gallop the hits can be pretty intimidatingly hard, so we are going rather careful. Length of lance is 340 cm Translations and Transcriptions by: Francesco Novati Michael Chidester Colin Hatcher Kendra Brown Rebecca Garber Dierk Hagedorn Wolfgang Abart Arne Koets Nick Kraus
