I am going to receive this beautiful Montante to review from Black Fencer! I am really looking forward to handle it, it seems extremely promising! #blackfencer #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #montante #spadone #zweihander #greatsword #swordfighting #historicalfencing #review #zweihänder #montantero https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPltU9nxL_/?igshid=1wm46910yhsu0

So here are four highlights from yesterday’s session, Sebastião and Emil tried various rules from the Montante and several movements from Jogo do Pau de Cepães. One G11 on each side and a Retaguarda each. Enjoy!

Godinho’s second chapter

In this video the montantero faces two opponents in a very narrow alley, so narrow that it makes all (exept vertical) hews impossible.  It would, however, be very wrong to think that this is a bad situation for the two-handed sword to be used in. In this tutorial we will show you that the advantage of reach is still very defining in combat.

GFFG Montantero May 6-7 2017

Our pilot run through of our concept “Montantero” was a success and everyone, including us instructors, learned a lot! Participants learned how to handle being outnumbered and desperate, how to escape a surrounded situation, herding and controling a group of people with minimal focus in the typical “Rules” or “Reglas”. During a total of 12 hours only two of them were used to practice the anonymous 1530 rules, as they are in my personal opinion, the best beginners treatise for the Montante. It’s was exciting to get good feedback from the participants so that we’re sure to give our future workshops an even better experience.

To get in touch with the instructors, email gffgmontante(at)gmail.com

Videos from the workshop will be released later!
