All of the equipment shown below is designed to limit the chance of injury to any participants in Historical European Martial Arts when training under safe and supervised conditions.

KEVLAR-Reinforced Light Sparring Gloves – £45

These gloves give extra protection to the fingers and thumb with a highly mobile, flexible, yet protective “triple” foam protection, while also adding kevlar plate defence protection over the back of the hand and at the base of the thumb. “Smacks” on the wrist are also less of a problem due to the enhanced wrist protection offered by these fantastic gloves. All of these safety features have been added while keeping mobility to a maximum.

Zuparello – £120.00

Italian Zuparello / Fighting Cotte / Gambeson. Based on examples in Fiore dei Liberi’s Fior di Battaglia. This cost-effective gambeson, what would have been known to students of the venerable Italian fighting master Fiore dei Liberi as a zuparello. This light to medium weight fighting cotte, also known as a gambeson, is made of extremely durable 100% cotton for breathability, durability, and washability. No dry cleaning required, as with other company’s products!

The Zuparello features HAND MADE cloth buttons which will not break in combat and which compress under armour. The arms feature the GRAND ASSIETTE construction, which enables superior movement of the arms–even over the head–without drawing the hip region upward or cutting the area under the arms.

Our design is field-proven and is designed by Brian R. Price and Deborah St. James, as shown in Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction.
