En Garde!
The Sword with two hands section of The Flower of Battle immediately greets readers with discussions on the various guards. Fiore dei Liberi most likely structured it this way because it is inevitable to recognize the importance of these positions and how they play a vital role in everything that follows from plays, cuts, thrusts, and everything in between. This month, we will challenge ourselves to understand as many longsword guards out there, from basic to advanced, how each of them is used, and practice flow patterns to help us remember and easily access them when needed so we can always stay "on guard".
