The Golden Age of Martial Arts of Europe
Šlapák, Vojtěch ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to depict the golden era of European martial arts, which I consider to have developed in the "long" sixteenth century.This century is probably the most diverse one in European history in terms of weaponsused and fighting stylesintroduced. It was permeated by the fading phenomenon of chivalry, which last showed up in its full glory. Also, it is the age of mercenaries gloriously mastering the battlefields with their often dishonest, though effective tactics. But early modernperiod was anera of another victory, too. It was the beginning of a new type of warrior. Old medieval fencing was overcome by nimble styles arriving from Mediterranean area. The journey of these technical styles was one full of Renaissance spontaneity but also blood from thousands of duels. In Czech lands,this turning pointis already chronicledintheera of Rudolph II., which was a haven for various arts. Key words: Boxing - Cord - Duel - Europe - Fencing - Giacomo di Grassi - Knight - Mercenary - Nicolaes Petter - Pankration - Renaissance - Salvatore Fabris - Sword - Swordplay - Swordsman - Talhofer - Weapons - Wrestling
