Presentation of the Book "Flos Duellatorum 1409 - 2002 / alle radici dell'arte marziale italiana"
University of Bologna - Sala Absidale Aula Magna Santa Lucia - Bologna - Italy - 2002
“(…) this is not only a physical journey but also an intellectual one. Graziano Galvani has delved into history, tracing a sort of circular sign towards the fonts of a total martial art that returns to us today in the form of an alternative fencing combining both sport and self defense (…)”
Maestro FIS Ezio Zammarano, December 2002
“Ma il viaggio non è solo fisico, è anche intellettuale: come quello del nostro Graziano che procede all’indietro, tempo dopo tempo, in una specie di segno circolare, verso le fonti di un’arte marziale totale, che ci ritorna oggi in chiave di scherma alternativa, con riflessi anche sportivi, oltre che conservativi.”

Vancouver impromptu instructor workshop
Academy Duello, Vancouver, Canada, 2012
This morning we had the distinct pleasure of hosting Marco Quarta an instructor from Nova Scrimia for an impromptu instructor workshop. Marco showed up spontaneously in our doorway last week while in town meeting with the Italian Consulate and we roped him into showing us some of how his organization approaches the Italian martial arts.
Today’s workshop focused primarily on an Italian stick fighting tradition that has developed both from Bolgonese fighting sources such as Manciolino and Marozzo as well as classical fencing and the teachings of Italian fencing masters from the 1800s. This is a living tradition in Italy that has many swordplay analogues as well as its own internal techniques and stylings. I very much enjoyed Marco’s energetic teaching style, his precision with the techniques, and the pace of the class.
