Two swords style in Europe -- it appears in the works of Manciolino, Marozzo, di Grassi and Agrippa, it was fashionable in the early to middle 16th century. Also, it appears that some of the prizefighters in England fought case of falchions in the late 17th century. I don't recommend it, most people who do it, look like the fools whom Brantome write about in his Memoirs.

i know that at time could was strange a 2 swords style...but after testin one year with half an hand sword (it isn't my style :wink: ) and another year with one hand sword (cool, but i need something more) i think that should be a good style.

Thank you for information, i already have the agrippa, now i've to find the others.

If you are looking to fight with something in each hand, I would reccomend either a buckler or a dagger over a second sword. I have and can fight fairly well with two swords, but I do much better with a buckler or a dagger.

hope this helps.

I would also recommend a dagger over a second sword. However, if you can pull it off, fighting with two swords can be a devastating style. A friend of mine is very profecient with this kind of combat and it obviously gives him an edge.

M. Jancarik and Brancaleone(I'm assuming "Brancaleone" to be your last name, if not, you need to re register altogether),

Please re-register with your full first names or simply include it in your current profiles in accordance with forum rules as seen below. On the ARMA website, we do not allow screen names as we feel it critical that we all are forthright in our postings and clearly identify ourselves. This keeps trolling to a minimum.

This is a formal discussion and research board. Our focus is on training and practice, research and scholarship, sparring, swords, weaponry, arms and armor, and Medieval and Renaissance fighting skills.

With the new forum software you may now change your username in your profile without having to re-register. As Shane stated however, the same rules still apply and will be enforced.
