HEMA longsword training tips: The 12 guards/posta of Fiore dei Liberi

The 12 guards, or ’posta’, of Fiore dei Liberi as used in Schola Gladiatoria SG1. The 12 guards are in fact made up slightly differently in each of Fiore’s treatises (you could say that there are really only 11 main longsword guard ’posta’). Each of the positions can be forwards or backwards weighted, so in the video we’re really just looking at the general positions.
