Welcome to the website of the Jadetiger School of Arms
We are a small group of enthusiasts who have been training since 2007 under the direction of Capo Istruttore Rupert Sedlmayr. Besides the fun of fencing, we are driven above all by an interest in the often little-known martial arts traditions that have been passed down in northern Italy to this day. The term "La Superba" (in reference to the nickname of the city of Genoa) gives us a umbrella name for our martial arts collection, under which we train a whole range of traditional fighting methods.

This comprehensive style of knife duel fencing is simply called "Northern Knife", which is typical of the styles of the North. This very comprehensive system is based on the "Sistema SAL" (scherma del assalto del leone;fencing of the lion attack), which was developed by Maestro Antonio Merendoni on the basis of classical Italian fencing and the fighting methods of the Arditi (special forces unit in the First World War). The style was expanded and partially restructured by Maestro Roberto Laura and later by Rupert Sedlmayr, which made a new name necessary.
The coltello settentrionale is characterised by the very classical fencing stance, by its striding footwork and by its long-range attacks from the wide measure, but with more than a dozen fighting stances (guardie) it contains tactics for practically all fighting situations.
The "Cane of Genoa" is a civic fighting system that, in addition to the eponymous walking stick, also teaches the heavy two-handed stick, the short baton, the knife, savate genovese (Genoese kickboxing) and gambetto (Genoese wrestling). The method is taught to us by Maestro Claudio Parodi, who has become a close friend and whom we visit as often as possible in Genoa.
Bastone genovese is characterised by its straightforward, powerful, direct actions, from which one can very clearly read its roots as the street self-defence of cart drivers and dock workers. There is no time wasted here!
The fighting method known simply as the "Romagna method" was taught to us by Maestro Antonio Merendoni. It includes the use of the saracca, the traditional knife from the region, and the ronchetta, a pruning knife widespread throughout northern Italy.
The method clearly reflects the nature of the mountain farmers from the Romagna: it is direct, very physical and powerful and does not waste time on rituals. Another characteristic feature is the emphasis on the coat as forearm protection.
