Godalming Training – 12th August 2015
A fun night where both beginners and seniors got to work together. Tonight at Godalming everyone got to start on a couple of week’s worth of training focusing on using two swords. Not only is dual-wielding fun and historically accurate, it’s also very difficult for novice and experienced sword fighters alike.

Reading Training – 10th August 2015
A busy night despite it being only a day after the end of Fightcamp. Whilst the beginner’s group continued to work on cutting, Fran gave a mix of intermediates and seniors the class she gave at Fightcamp on rapier basics. This lead to some very impressive voiding during the low speed drills. Finally, a group of seniors studied a section from Alfieri on wounding and disarming seeing if they could put it to practical use.

SotS Takes Rapier Silver At Fightcamp
Last weekend, School of the Sword turned out in force at the annual Fightcamp event near Coventry. Instructors, Pim and Fran, gave a beginner’s rapier class to attendees as part of the programme of events.
School of the Sword was also well represented in the various tournaments making it to the semi-finals in a number of disciplines. We also made the medals, with Piermarco Terminello taking Silver in the rapier competition.
