The Course in detail
Traditionally this training was not only to train the student militarily in the use of every weapon, but also to develop the typically knightly moral and ethical principles such as honor, courage, self-control, fraternity and camaraderie.
Today it still remains an important completion of his training, which can never be achieved with hands-free self-defense instruction or the use of firearms, thus remaining the student a simple soldier and not a warrior. Furthermore, the history linked to the teaching methods taught places the student ideologically as the transmitter of a glorious past lived by heroes that continues with him, thus feeling himself the repository of this identity.
Today, as then, from the study of iconography, documentation and treaties, the most suitable methods for such training have been restored through their practical application in combat. In addition, the courses include specific training programs for the activity, aimed at strengthening the muscles and developing appropriate motor chains in the student.
Moreover, the fencing learning stimulates the student to develop his own abilities: motor, reflexes, balance, proprioception, speed, strength and resistance. And still those typical skills of combat psychology are significantly developed.
