Marozzo’s Assaulti

ROOM: TBA

INSTRUCTOR: Gary Chelak

DESCRIPTION:

One of the key components to Achille Marozzo's pedagogy, the assaulti teach the actions & concepts required for his system of combat. They are comprised of interchangeable actions that fit together like stanzas in poetry or music. The assaulti also teach a thought process, opening doors that were perhaps unnoticed before, and illustrate how to create and maintain one's safety while successfully attacking the adversary.

The third part of Marozzo's first assault will be examined in detail, with a focus on how the same set of actions suits for many situations. Attendees will understand the place of assaulti in training, be able to reproduce these actions, and understand why they function the way they do.

We will be making cuts & thrusts against each other - please bring a single-hand practice sword, small-ish buckler, gloves, 12k mask, protection for the upper torso/arms, notepad & pen/pencil.

*note: this is not the same class that I presented at 4W earlier this year - that class/track is not a prerequisite for this class. The content is completely accessible to those new to 'spada da filo', and those who have taken a similar class with me will see different content/focus.
