Receiving Gioco Largo (Sidesword Apprentice)

Gioco Largo (“Wide Play”) refers to the situations where the opponent’s point is out of the centerline or their weapon is withdrawn, in a position from where it makes attacks with broad motions. This month we’ll learn how to receive an opponent that holds their sword back. We’ll explore how to win the crossing in five different ways. Then we’ll focus on the counter-attacks after parring and deflecting.

Acknowledgement of Safety and Risk

  1. Practice all exercises slowly and with control.
  2. Practice using training swords that are not sharp and are specifically made for practice.
  3. Use protective gear for all exercises. In many of our videos we are not wearing head, throat or body protection in order to make clear explanation more possible. You should always use protective gear when practicing these arts regardless of the exercise.
  4. Be aware that injuries in training are always possible. Ensure that you are practicing with care and caution at all times.
  5. DuelloTV is not responsible for any injuries that occur as a result of sword practice inspired from our videos.
