Fitness and Posture

Character and Self-esteem
The Prima Spada style helps its students to develop considerable confidence in themselves and their abilities. From the very beginning, students are constantly challenged to excel at the techniques taught at their level, and encouraged to demonstrate their ability in stylised combat. This also requires one to accord the same respect to one's fellow students. This is bourne out in School's motto "Honourable in victory, gracious in defeat".

Analytical Intuition and Strategic Thinking
The Prima Spada style teaches the student techniques as a collection of building blocks, but it is then up to the student to employ these tactically to gain advantage and respond to threats in the infinite variety of situations in swordplay.
