[[Image:Fiore Segno.jpg|left|100px]] '''[[Fiore Poste Progression|Fiore's 12 Longsword Positions]]''' or ''poste'' represent the core foundation for the blows and defenses for the ''sword-in-two-hands'' as shown in Fiore's manuscript the [[Flos Duellatorum]]. The [[position]]s are stopping points that a fighter may find themselves in during combat at the beginning or end of a blow, or when a blow is interrupted. Understanding and exercising from these positions provides a fighter with the ability to act quickly and fluidly at any point in combat.
