So what the h@ll is "Armizare"?

In response to some friends who've asked me this recently, here we go:

Armizare is a 15th century Italian martial art that encompasses unarmed grappling, knife, sword, spear, poleaxe, and all of the above on horseback.

That's it. It's a martial art - just like Karate, Aikido, Krav Maga, etc.
