Learning Fiore De Liberi

Here is a list of various things to work on from this ward.

• Exchanging the thrust
• Breaking the thrust
• Delivering thrusts with a step
• Fendente defending against Fendente
• Sottani defending against Fendente
• Mezzano defending against Fendent
• Fendente/Sottani/Mezaano cuts defending against Mezzano
• Fendente/Sottani/Mezzano cuts defending against Sottani
• Sottani cuts vs a Fendente are in particular a good thing to work on.

When defending against a cut make sure aht you are passing forward as you do so, slightly off the line. Remember that with with every blow you should pass or step. Also not all of these combinations are good, some are better then others. However, don't take our word for it. Try it yourself. Whether things work for you, depend on your arm length, leg length, torso length, strength and other attributes that make it difficult to say that anything works the same way 100% of the time.
