Abrazare is the grappling system outlined in Fiore de' Liberi’s Flos Duellatorum, the oldest illustrated combat manuscript. Abrazare focuses on throws, strikes joint locks, and breaks, to defeat any opponent, emphasizing staying upright and avoiding ground fighting.
Fiore's Abrazare is for life-or-death encounters, distinguishing it from sport grappling, making it highly effective in armed and unarmed combat. You will learn the main grappling positions (Poste), the various techniques (Students, Remedies, Counters), and even how to defend unarmed from knives.
Are Fiore's grappling methods as practical today as 600 years ago?
Whether you're interested in historical European martial arts (HEMA), medieval combat, or grappling techniques that transcend time, this video will give you a closer look at Fiore's timeless legacy.
