Learn to master the wide play (gioco largo) by building powerful and smooth body mechanics. This is an ideal course for anyone interested in swinging longswords or greatswords (spadone) with grace and precision.

Use clever footwork and flowing bladework to dance just out of your opponent's reach, take control of the center, and enter with powerful blows.

Provoke and deceive your opponent using footwork and bladework both to create safe space to enter and to open your opponent up to attack. Learn about deceptive footwork, attacks to miss, feints, and other provocations.

A bonus course on how to move between gioco largo (wide play) and gioco stretto (narrow play) when you intend to and when forced into it by the opponent. Explore sequences of attacks and defenses and learn to create your own.
