"Long shots: Special thrusting in early-and mid-period Spadone fighting. (According to Pietro Monte 1509 & Giacomo Di Grassi 1570)"
Jan Gosewinkel (Montantero Bonn) started with martial arts 30 years ago, when he entered the local Jiu Jitsu club (2. Dan). 15 years later he picked up the sword and studied Liechtenauer Longsword and Short Sword (a.k.a. “halfswording”) in several different clubs in Germany and Austria. Since 12 years, Greatswords are his special interest and since 2012 he teaches classes on Montante, Mangual and Double Swords on a regular basis.
He supports “The Spadone Project” in active research and translated all known Spanish teachings for the Montante into German language.
This is one of the six 45 min workshops which were given at the "Swords of the Renaissance II" in Oktober 2021 here in Potsdam. A yearly international two day event with the focus on to create an open space that reflects both the diversity of the historical martial arts between the 15th and 17th centuries and the diversity of today’s practitioners. From the elegant movements of the Italians (Bologna), the deep stances of Fabris, the sporty demands in Germany (Meyer), the dancing forms of the Spaniards (Destreza), the space-creating presence of the Portuguese (Montante) to the grumpy Englishmen (Silver! – not our instructors… they are wonderful – not grumpy!) and many more.
The participants have the opportunity to deal with weapons and styles that are unknown to them by talking to the specialists in conversation and hands-on. (berliner-rittergilde.de/swords-of-the-renaissance-ii/)
Thanks a lot to Jan for this wonderful contribution and also to all people joining us on this weekend!
