Here in Aneala, we have usually fenced in English with English descriptions for the cuts and attacks. Many of the styles that I have drawn from to teach have been largely Italian, with a bit of French, Spanish, German and English.
Here I present to you a short list of Italian words, a diagram of common cuts, and a diagram of hand holds/positions.
