London Longsword Academy: training guide Mon 23rd August

For class availability please call; 0770 9639881
This weeks overview, using the pause in training.
Monday 23rd Barbican: Short staff...first two forms...
Tuesday 24th Hither Green; Longsword. Zorn drills and light bouting practice.
Wednesday 25th Southwark; 7.30 class Rapier; inner and outer subjections. 8.45 class Longsword; Wrath to Longpoint.
Thursday 26th Bromley; Longsword; Wrath to Longpoint & parrying.
Friday 27th Sutton; Longsword; Wrath to Longpoint & parrying continuing on from last weeks lesson.

Again much of the focus is going to be on making sure both parties are giving the right response before continuing to the second part of the move.
Simply put: attacker aim on target.
Defender react to stimulus, dealing with the attack you see or feel coming, when you see or feel it, not the attack you think you know is coming. This form of practice will help you understand pressure and necessity much more... train hard...Dave...
