Furusiyya

Late Mamluk-era manuscript on training with the lance (The David Collection Inv. nr. 19/2001, c. 1500).

Furusiyya is an Arabic knightly discipline and ethical code developed in the Middle Ages.[1] It was practised in the medieval Muslim world from Afghanistan to Muslim Spain, and particularly during the Crusades and the Mamluk period.[2] The combat form uses martial arts and equestrianism as the foundation.[3][4]

The three basic categories of furusiyya are horsemanship, including veterinary aspects of proper care for the horse (hippology) and the proper riding techniques (equestrianism), mounted archery, and jousting. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya adds swordsmanship as a fourth discipline in his treatise Al-Furūsiyya (1350).[5] Ibn Akhi Hizam also cited that there are three fundamentals to the furusiyya: horse mastery, proficiency in handling all types of weapons, and bravery.

  5. ↑ "Arab epic heroes and horses". Halle an der Saale: 29. Deutscher Orientalistentag. Archived from the original on July 18, 2011. Furusiyya covers four disciplines: the tactics of attack and withdrawal (al-karr wa-l-farr); archery; jousts with spears; duels with swords. [...] Only the Muslim conquerors and the knights of the faith have fully mastered these four arts.
