Nova Scrimia

[Greek Fighter]

Has anybody ever heard of this Italian style martial art?. It's basically a Medieval type of fencing.

The name isn't familiar to me. However, I know that medieval fencing was popular in Italy, Spain, Europe, and Great Britain. They all have some weapons roots there.

Strangely enough yes, but I know nothing about it really.

Here's a pretty good explanation of it. It's the first entry I found when I googled, but seems to do the trick:

Sounds interesting.

That is interesting. I know the names of DeLiberi, Marozzo, and DiGrassi. They were all Italian fencing masters.

There is a rich, and effective, history in the Western martial arts, and I think exploring them in detail can be as beneficial as training in any other style.
