2025 – Esko Heikki Olavi Ronimus – Stretta di mezza spada – Fencing in the narrow measure of crossed swords in the Bolognese tradition

According to the Bolognese tradition masters, the narrow measure where swords are crossed from the middle - the stretta di mezza spada - is the most important fighting measure. It is the measure a Bolognese fencer tries to enter to deliver strikes that are meant to hit their opponent and it is the measure where the fencer's virtú is proven. Despite the fact that the masters emphatically instruct a Bolognese fencer to enter this range when fighting in earnest, it is a skill rarely seen in actual action. This workshops takes a look on how to use method and its techniques in a dynamic manner through a framework of some its essential concepts and actions.
