How to capture the opponent's blade and go to bladework with the two-handed sword
The proposed lesson mainly has two objectives: the first, concerns the study and application of the concept of capturing the opponent's blade, the second, is how to go to bladework.
After having studied the wide measure we will then look into bladework. This consists of capturing the opponent's blade with certain movements and being able to control it. To be able to create movements that allow me to apply actions to go to the target using binds and thrusts.

Biography
After years of practicing various sports disciplines and experiencing the world of reenactment as a participant and then president, he discovered the world of traditional fencing thanks to FISAS. After studying under the guidance of Andrea Lupo Sinclair, he obtained the title of Prevosto d’Armi (first level ACSI instructor) in the discipline of two-handed sword in 2013.
For years he was a teacher and main collaborator of Giubbetto Nero Giorgio Sgaravatto in teaching the FISAS method at the “Tempo & misura” fencing hall. Today he is the only remaining provost and main reference point, especially for what concerns the precepts of the old school and in particular of the two-handed sword.
