The discussion group for the Schola Saint George, a School of Western martial arts focusing on the swordsmanship of Fiore dei Liberi, Royal Armouries MS I.33, and poleaxe of Talhoffer / Jeu de la Hache.
We teach students starting with an unarmoured longsword curriculum, encouraging them to develop their skills through dei Liberi's longsword system. Following this course, they further develop their skills by sparring and integrating the concepts encapsulated in Fiore's incroisade plays, working towards their Scholar rank. All students are strongly encouraged to study other arts, and to apply their arts in different competitive arenas such as the SCA, Adria, competitive fencing, and Eastern martial arts. In 2004, we added study groups for far-flung students who would like to follow our method and curriculem. See the Schola Saint George website for more details. We strive to create an environment that is fun, yet we work hard from the original texts, hoping to create talented swordsmen (and women!).
