Bolognese Form for Beginners: Walking in the Guards (2023)

Our most recent version of Giovanni dall' Agocchie's "Walking in the Guards" (1572). This form contains the essential footwork, guards and cuts to begin Bolognese fencing, and should be the first thing mastered by the new student.

Thanks for dropping this Gem. Been a fan of Terry O’Neil since my dad used to watch the Guvnor. But I didn’t know all this info. I’m a karate guy from born in the 70’s so this is so cool to listen to.

Awesome thank you!

Très beaux mouvements!! Intéressant à mettre en application lors d'un sparring.

Very elegant movements. The first cut when you draw the sword should be a falso tondo riverso, not a dritto tondo riverso though.

Thank you. The English translation we are working from, by Jherek Swanger, says: "extend your arm and perform a falso and a riverso squalembro, *OR* do two riversi, the first one tondo and the second one squalembro" (I perform the second option). Are you saying that this is not translated correctly?
