There was indeed a Renaissance - Adrian van Bronswijk
In 2022, Nusbacher showed „There Was No Renaissance“ in her lecture and practice on Salvator Fabris, making the case that their fencing actions were actually within a countinuous line based on earlier styles and techniques.
In this years workshop we want to approach the subject in question – was there a renaissance (in fencing) – from a different angle: Camilo Agrippas approach to analyzing and teaching fencing techniques and tactics breaks with earlier traditions and acts as a base for more modern didactics and fighting styles. We will dive into what sets Agrippa apart in a short lecture and then look into his method in practice.
About the instructor: Adrian got into HEMA in 2008, after having dabbled in different martial arts since his early teens. Few months in, he already knew he’d want to go all the way. In 2013, Adrian finished his fencing teacher’s degree at the German Academy of Fencing (ADFD) and founded his own fencing school in Lüneburg, north Germany. With his background as a PE/Sports teacher, his focus lies in good biomechanics and healthy execution of the HEMA sports, while always looking for the martial foundations of sword fencing arts.
In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!
