Résumé

This book offers a specialized and in-depth exploration of the use of the sword and shield, and polearm and shield. This book delves into the esteemed fencing techniques from the 16th-century masters such as Anonimo Bolognese, Manciolino, Marozzo, Agrippa, Di Grassi, Lovino, and Capoferro, showcasing the profound impact of these practices in European martial history. Focusing on the unique dynamics of the rotella, a distinctive shield of the Renaissance, this guide presents an array of combat techniques applicable in dueling, on the battlefield, and in self-defense scenarios.
It bridges historical martial arts with modern combat needs, making the venerable strategies of the past relevant and practical for contemporary warriors. What sets this book apart is its dedication to the practical use of the arm-carried shield in combination with swords and polearms. The book revisits traditional techniques and adapts them for today's martial artists, featuring detailed instructions, strategic insights, and exercises tailored to enhance understanding and skill in wielding these classical weapons.
Ideal for HEMA enthusiasts, martial artists, and anyone with an interest in the historical and practical aspects of Renaissance combat, this book serves as a scholarly resource and a hands-on guide.

Biographie de Giovanni Ricco

Giovanni is an instructor at the Culham Historical Fencing and Mixed Martial Arts Club (CSSA) in the UK with a diverse martial arts background. He began his martial arts training in 1991 with Japanese Karate (kumite) and later moved on to Kickboxing for six years and then Muay Thai for four years, participating in amateur competitions. In 1999, he was introduced to Medieval and Renaissance fencing by his master of Italian historical fencing and started training in the manual of Fiore de Liberi and Marozzo.
He also joined a group that trained in ancient Olympic boxing (Pygmachia), wrestling (Pale), the ancient mixed martial art of Pankration, and gladiatura in an experimental archaeology style (Arsdimicandi). In 2000, Giovanni received his first qualification as an Instructor of Medieval Fencing, followed by a second one in Renaissance Fencing (IRSAST). He taught his first class in southern Italy before receiving his qualification.
He also received a qualification as an instructor of modern Pankration (Athlima) and taught his first class of bare-hand fighting in northern Italy (Venice). Along with his students in both northern and southern Italy, Giovanni participated in historical tournaments and battles. He later moved to South Milan and opened two classes in bare-hand fighting and fencing. In 2013, he received a qualification as a mixed martial arts instructor (FIGMMA).
Giovanni further broadened his skills by joining a local club of defensive and dynamic shooting with firearms, participating in competitions. In 2018, he moved to China for work and continued to have students in all of his disciplines, including boxing. After moving to England, he joined a local historical fencing school in Wiltshire and then the Hema Fencing school in Oxford (OSS) and a Brazilian Ju Jitsu school to improve his wrestling skills.
In 2022, Giovanni had his martial arts qualifications validated by the British Martial Arts and Boxing Association (BMABA).
