Discipline Styles

Core Styles

The Core Styles are standardised tracks created for the purpose of testing specific riding and fighting manoeuvres in a controlled environment and that represent tests of the equestrian martial arts fundamentals of the discipline. Many are based on military exercises detailed (often with diagrams) in historical manuscripts (usually furūsiya texts). They have been calibrated for grading purposes and easy comparison of results in competition.

Auxiliary Styles

The auxiliary styles include exercises that require a slightly different skillset than usual, that may use other weapons in addition to the bow, or that are not on standardised tracks and thus may be slightly different each time. It also includes the ‘applied’ category of tracks that are designed to be less predictable to test more abilities in equestrian martial arts. Many new exciting styles of these are in development.
