Historical European Martial Arts: Unarmed Combat

This class will introduce students to medieval unarmed combat. Concepts presented in the class are based on the 1409 treatise of Fiore dei Liberi titled “The Flower of Battle.” This historical document presented simple and highly effective self-defense principles that are applicable in the modern world. Students will learn punching, guards, locks, holds, and throws. Principles presented in this class are general enough for students with no martial arts background yet insightful to experienced practitioners of other systems.

Drop-in available for $20. If you decide to become part of the class, this amount will be deducted from your course enrollment fee.
