Competition time...big and bigger.

We have two competitions coming up:
The first held on the 18th of March at the Stepney Green class is the second interclass competition.
And this time it's going to be...Dussack.
As you know (read the previous articles if not) this is the tool we use to train everything from machete to messer to backsword, if it's a sword in one hand, this is the simplest tool to do the work.


I expect you all to try and make it, if you perform as well as you did in the longsword competition it should be a lot of fun.





In addition to that, very big news the London Longsword Academy will be (along with School of the Sword and some other schools soon to be confirmed) hosting the HEMA/EBBMA competition at the Martial Arts Show  on Saturday May 12th  this is a chance to fight in front of thousands of people, to show the art and your skills in the best light possible, so it's time to dust off those fencing skills, this is going to be BIG.
There will be two categories:
Rapier and Dussack, both will be judged and fought using the open rules on which I will post an update very shortly.

In class this week:
More dussack work, working a little wrath cutting and work from the bogen, simple stuff. I will see you there.
