This week it's back on heavy drilling; we are having a couple of weeks off rapier, dussack and sickle instead  focusing on longsword and sword with buckler.
the class will be broken into three main rotations.
Longsword:
  • guards, engaging the muscles and core work
  • Cutting drills, all five master cuts copy and do
  • Krumphau, basic work to break the ox
Sword and buckler:
  • All the guards with flowing cuts, allignment
  • over bind left from the long point
  • over bind right  from the long point

If we have time, sparring.  You will be amazed how much the guard work can hurt, look forward to making you ache. Dave
