Fiore Training Book

[Mark Lancaster]

I hesitated about posting this as ARMA already has its own well established training, but as we all share information I thought this may be of interest.

As you may know, The Exiles have being doing Fiore for a lot of years now under the leadership of Rob Lovett. As the community does not have any/many actual training guides/books (although it does have a lot of excellent interpretations and translations) we have gone ahead and professionally printed the first part of our curriculum. This is a 206 page full colour book and is aimed at the beginner as well as those studying Fiore. This is not an interpretation, as such, although it obviously contains our interpretation of Fiore – it is rather a training manual that tries to draw together the wider martial aspects that are the basis behind any Art and Fiore in particular.

If you want to know more then we have set up a special site for the project (there is a DVD coming as well) at http://www.primoristraining.com

We are selling this commercially (via our own shop and on line via resellers such as Amazon, although the US Amazon doesn't seem to have got its act together yet) but have produced the book for minimal profit (any profit will go into the next book/DVD). We are hoping that this approach (training over interpretation) will be seen as a positive thing for HEMA and is the reason that we have gone down this route.

Any feedback/thoughts are more than welcome.

Thanks,

Thanks Mark. I look forward to seeing it. New material is always welcome.

Looking at the future publications, having all of the Fiore's in one volume would be helpful. It gets tiring having several versions of the same book on the table opened at the same time.

But if you put them all in the same book then you have to keep flipping back and forth to compare things. I think I'd rather have multiple volumes side by side.

Hi Stacy

But if you put them all in the same book then you have to keep flipping back and forth to compare things. I think I'd rather have multiple volumes side by side.

We'll be putting them side-by-side, so (for example) you'd see the 1st Master Dagger Remedy from both the Getty and the PD on the same page. The idea is to give you all the information at a glance.

Thanks,

Mark

Ah, well that would work beautifully then, I look forward to seeing it.
