Students successfully testing on the zogho largo are known as scolari minore and are denoted by a blue belt. Scolari minore turn their attention to integration of the first two levels with a great dea lof sparring. This is the second part of the four-module Intermediate section of the core curriculum, focusing on the integration of the materials in the first two levels. While the first two levels are knowledge levels, the third module is a performance level. This means that students will be expected to conduct themselves in a fight / tournament and be recognizeable as an attempt at using Fiorean principles. In addition, students must be able to transfer the knowledge to a breadth weapon, and to complete a 3-book reading assignment that provides context of how these arts are used. Within this section will be found the reading list, drills, Quatro Magistri dall'Entrada, notes on compound attacks and falsing. All of this material is to become part of the Brian's 2008 book, Masters of the Crossed Swords, but the section will include much school-specific content not included in the book. One part of the book which is complete and which has been used successfully by our scolari minori to get to the incrosa are the quatro magistri dalla incrosa, which may be found attached to this section. Other material includes feinting and falsing, compound blows, the use of psychology in a fight and an increased focused on field comportment, appearance and demeanor. |
