  • The Exiles: Fiore Workshop, Sunday 13th April 2008, Barking, London, UK
    This is the first of two workshops that will focus on the Daga (dagger) system of Fiore dei Liberi. The Daga section of his work is considered to be the fundamental for all the unarmed and sword techniques within his system. Collectively, Fiore’s system (c1400) covers over 200 weapon and unarmed techniques and is one of the largest known surviving historical systems. The cost is £25, with a £5 discount for BFHS members and those that attended our previous workshop (Fiore Stick Up). All the techniques are taken directly from one of the most complete and integrated historical martial systems surviving from medieval/renaissance Europe.
