Hi!
I’ve been in a bit of a zine-making frenzy this week.
It started innocently enough. I’ve been updating the Swordschool Wiki, and we’ve now reached a major milestone: every one of Fiore’s 70+ dagger plays now has its own page, with the image from the Getty manuscript, my translation, and my interpretation on video.
You can explore the whole lot here, along with a goodly chunk of the longsword plays, and all of the abrazare.
