"Gangs of New York" I like that muvie, there are some realy exelent scenes of fighting and weapons.

Actualy I become realy interested in European martial arts (not just sword arts) after discousion "Japanese sword art vs European sword art" that you and me had, I have to admit that I founded realy interesting things, I am totaly fascinated with some s simple and efficant techniques that I found.

Well about Libera boxing, sorry but I dont know much. What I know is that it was found in Italy in 18 century, it was developed from Boxing schools from Venezia, Verona, Siena... guard is much diferent than english Boxing. Left hand is infront of you ready to block, something like when you whatch on your clock, its paralel with your neck or forhead. Right hand, well just think that you have hearth on your right side, well right fist would be than on your hearth.
Here is something powerfull, Libera boxing have specific techniques called "Al pettp pel viso", its blocking and attacking in same time with take down with your legs. I like it!
So acording to that we can conclude that bilance war realy important to them, and that you could defided with these techniques much bigger opponents.
