Our current systems include 15th and early 16th century longsword, 13th and 14th century "Knightly" sword and shield, 12th and early 13th century sword and buckler, the 15th century Rondel Dagger, and the Spear throughout the medieval period. We organize each system based around the "fightbooks" of the age: Master Lichtenauer's Zettle, Master Fiore Dei Liberi's "Flower of Battle", and MS I.33 or the "Tower Fechtbuch", along with several interpretations and iterations of the treatises by students and contemporaries such as Filippo Vadi, Achille Marozzo, Sigmund Ain Ringeck, Peter Von Danzig, Lew, and Master Hans Talhoffer.
