An active night for both beginners and seniors where the recurring theme for the evening was on focus and finesse.
The beginners group continued to work toward their safety test, working with sword & buckler, whilst the seniors had their third lesson on rapier & dagger doing a number of constrained drills to practise techniques.
A special night in Reading as the senior group helped / watched Lizzie pass her Laureando exam which saw her, amongst other things, having to fight a pole-axe with a case of swords. Congratulations to Lizzie!
Meanwhile the beginners worked on finessing the form with sword & buckler
School of the Sword instructor Piermarco Terminiello takes third after a close 8-6 semi in single rapier, and second in longsword at the Swords Island event on Majorca this weekend.
Pim also found time to give a lesson on rapier & dagger to attendees.
Congratulations Pim!
Another busy week at Godalming this week with a good turnout. The seniors continued with their introduction to Rapier & Dagger whilst the beginners continued to work on Sword & Buckler.
A great turnout and we look forward to seeing you all next week!
Just a reminder to all students that Monday 31st August is a bank holiday and as such there is NO training. We’ll be back the following week though!
After several weeks playing with Two Swords, the senior group progressed onto Rapier & Dagger tonight whilst the beginner’s group worked on footwork.
We all had so much fun, we forgot to take any pictures!
The second of our case of swords workshops at School of the Sword Reading tonight. We looked at attacking and finished with some flow work and free play.
Congratulations to Kasten who passed his safety test!
Members of School of the Sword took the time and go and visit the WFMA HEMA group in Winchester, and played with Dussacks amongst other weapons.

The two swords fun continues in our Godalming class, and everyone, including some brand new students, got involved.
Hard work and lots of energy tonight.
A record turnout for Reading as the group followed the Godalming group and had their first lesson in fighting with two swords.
