AB [EN] The article attempts to outline the path a young nobleman underwent in the 16-17th century Poland in order to  achieve  prowess  in  battle  martial  arts.  It  presents  patterns  and  ways  of  training  the  nobleman  was  subjected   to   from   an   early   age,   the   process   of   a   future   warrior’s   mental   and   physical   preparation.   Furthermore,  it  describes  various  types  of  body  exercises  and  trainings  with  many  weapon  types.  A  fundamental   novelty   is   presentation   of   the   training   methodology.   Its   over   four   centuries   of   age   notwithstanding it has basically been valid until nowadays and encompasses such features as diet or exercise intensity. Eventually this article presents the individual stages of said training, closely related to warrior’s age and  psychophysical  development.  Material  for  the  study  was  obtained  thanks  to  the  textual  analysis,  both  from  the  era  (16  to  17th  century  sources)  and  from  the  limited  literature  on  the  topics  (monographs,  magazine  articles,  periodicals,  the  Internet)  addressing  the  subject.  The  result  depicts  arduous,  however  consistent  and  sensible  old  Polish  training  system.    After  many  years  of  wisely  carried  out  exercises  an  effective,  skilled  warrior  was  produced,  furnished  with  high  fighting  skills  and  morale,  ready  to  fight  his country  enemies.  At  the  same  time  whilst  getting  old  such  a  warrior  could  train  the  next  generations  of Homeland’s  knights-defenders.  The  objective  of  the  article  is  to  draw  attention  to  the  subject  of  Polish  warriors, their training and martial arts, hitherto unmentioned in English literature and to encourage further research in this field.
