The Dardi school uses primarily a single-handed sword (generally referred to as a side-sword), still used for both cutting and thrusting. The sword is combined with various defensive weapons, including a shield brocchiero, rotella or targa), a dagger, a gauntlet or a cape. The two-handed sword or spadone is also still taught, although losing its prominence. In addition, there are treatments of fighting with the poleaxe and other polearms.
