Like any martial art, the art of the sword brings with it a host of bumps and bruises. Made from the same high-quality leather and stitch construction as our Padded Swordplay Gloves, these gloves have added, rigid knuckle plates on hand and thumb made of Carbon Kevlar, dense foam along the fingers and thumb, as well as all around the ‘gauntlet’ part of the glove for added wrist protection. The foam in these gloves is denser and more rigid providing extra protection, but patterned in such way as to provide coverage along your fingers, back of hand, knuckles and wrist while not restricting mobility. Our Rigid Plate HEMA Gloves are designed to help protect against light blows, works well as hand padding inside a buckler and while sparring with light weapons.  Designed specifically for practitioners of the Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) and Western Martial Arts (WMA) communities.

The warriors of medieval Italy practiced a complex and complete martial art, which included the wielding of sword, axe and spear with wrestling, knife-fighting and mounted combat. In the waning years of the 14th century, Fiore dei Liberi was a famed master of this art, whose students included some of the most renowned and dangerous fighting men of his day. Credited by fencing historians as the father of Italian swordsmanship, toward the end of his life, Master Fiore preserved his teachings in a series of illustrated manuscripts, four of which have survived to the present day, and have become the basis of a world-wide effort to reconstruct this lost martial art. This magnum opus, il Fior di Bataglia (The Flower of Battle), composed in early 1409, is one of the oldest, most extensive, and most clearly elucidated martial arts treatises from the medieval period.

Freelance Academy Press is proud to present Flowers of Battle, a multi-volume series of lavishly illustrated, hard-cover books, combining full-color facsimiles of the master’s original manuscripts; professional, annotated translations; and extensive, peer-reviewed essays. Vol. I: Historical Overview and the Getty Manuscript presents a complete translation, transcription and reproduction of the largest and most complete of the manuscripts. Serving as a sourcebook for the entire series, it also includes chapters on the life of Fiore dei Liberi, his students, and patrons; arms and armour in the Getty Manuscript; dueling and chivalric culture in Italy at the close of the 14th century; a detailed analysis of the manuscripts’ use of pedagogy, number and metaphor; and the Flower of Battle’s relationship to other medieval combat manuscripts. While serving as a record of a complete, medieval martial tradition, this volume also provides unique insights into the life, mindset, and milieu of the professional fighting man at the birth of the Italian Renaissance.

 

Volume Three:

Florius de Arte Luctandi presents a complete translation, tran­scription and reproduction of the chronologically last, most recently discovered, and visually most lush of the manuscripts. A posthumous work, from the moment of its discovery by translator Ken Mondschein, Florius has raised at least as many questions as it has answered: For whom was the manuscript created and why? Why was it translated into a complex, humanistic Latin, and from what prior source? Why are there clear differences between Florius and the other three manuscripts in nomenclature and instruction for some of the fundamental guards and techniques in the martial art they all describe, and do these changes reflect an evolution in the master’s thinking, or errors in transmission.

Authors Mondschein and Mele tackle all of these questions and more in a lavishly illustrated introduction that builds on the sourcebook provided in Volume I, seeking to set the manuscript in context, as an objet d’art, an example of Renaissance patronage, and as a practical martial arts memorial.

 

The Flowers of Battle Series Includes:

Vol. I: Historical Overview and the Getty Manuscript
Vol. III: Florius de Arte Luctandi

Armizare (“the Art of Arms”) was the name the warriors of medieval Italy gave to their martial art, which included the wielding of sword, axe and spear with wrestling, knife-fighting and mounted combat. In the waning years of the 14th century, Fiore dei Liberi was a famed master of this art, whose students included some of the most renowned and dangerous fighting men of his day.

Toward the end of his life, Master Fiore preserved his teachings in a series of illustrated manuscripts, four of which have survived to the present day, and have become the basis of a world-wide effort to reconstruct this lost martial art. However, because medieval books were written for an audience with different expectations than the modern readers “how-to” manuals, today’s students often have trouble understanding the old swordsman’s choices in including, omitting or organizing information as he did. They may see that fighting art was a system, but lack the background to see the systematic instruction of the book itself.

In Armizare: The Chivalric Martial Arts System of il Fior di Battaglia, Robert Charrette brings together his experiences as a martial artist and respected 14th century living historian with his skills as a professional author  graphic artist to not only take readers on a walking tour of Master Fiore’s manuscripts, but into the mindset behind its creation. More than just an interpretation of an old book’s contents, this is a tool-kit that reveals Fiore dei Liberi’s brilliance as not just a fighter, but as martial arts teacher. Whether a long-time student, a newcomer to the art or a more academic devoté of the medieval warrior and his craft, readers will find themselves educated and entertained as a door is opened into another time and place – the training hall of the medieval knight.
