Fiore: The Plays of the Longsword on Foot out of Armour

This page is for recording the basic interpretation of Fiore's plays, which form the basis of our Fiore syllabus. For a complete study of every one of Fiore's longsword plays, see Guy's book From Medieval Manuscript to Modern Practice, here: https://guywindsor.net/book/from-medieval-manuscript-to-modern-practice-the-longsword-techniques-of-fiore-dei-liberi/

The longsword section of Fiore dei Liberi's system contains material on guards, blows, and the plays of the sword in both wide play (zogho largo) and constrained play (zogho stretto).
