Y'know, I haven't actually read Viggiani all the way through? Spent some time with the guy while eating a tiny pumpkin pie. He's got a lot of cool things to say, such as:

"Know well, then, that more damage can come to you from being attacked than benefit can come to you from being the attacker."

All told there are some 27 forms in the book, of varying lengths. I currently have 7 or so down, and I'm challenging myself to get the whole thing down within the next decade. I'm pretty sure that once they're interpreted the whole thing can be done in under an hour.

There are instructions for sword in one one hand, both alone and in a pair, as well as with a dagger or a variety of shields. He also covers two handed sword, both against other two handed swords and against polearms, as well as a number of different polearms, and some knife defense scenarios.

Most of those lessons are detailed plays that can be done as solo or partner forms, but they're usually described in the second person, and your opponent's actions aren't always clear. A fair amount of interpretation is required to make the descriptions make sense.

So just shy of 500 years ago, in Bologna, this guy called Achille (A-keel-lay) Marozzo got a book published. Marozzo was a fencing master (ie a professional martial arts instructor), and the book is a collection of lessons.
