$30.00 for both days, $50.00 at the door
Cinquedea Seminar with Scott Wilson (from Darkwood Armory) July 1-2, 2006, $50.00 until June 1, $100.00 thereafter
The Cinquedea was a civilian weapon in use from about 1450 to about 1530, primarily in northern Italy, but also in Germany where is it was known as the ox tongue, a broad-bladed cut and thrust weapon of any length from small dagger to full 32" sword. Since there are no extant manuals dealing with this weapon, Scott has taken material and nomenclature from period sources, primarily Fiore d' Liberi and Fillipo Vadi, but also manuals dealing with German single-handed sword and messer, such as the Lebkommer and Ringeck, to develop and round out the system. The class will consist of training with basic footwork taken from Fiore and Vadi and the guardia incorporated from those systems, as well as basic strikes and combinations, and simple tactics that would have been employed.
