Sunday saw students from both Godalming and Reading gather in Hawley for our regular Sunday Sparring event.
Lots of weapons were in play today including single rapier, rapier & dagger, sword & buckler, and knife. Students also got to play around with weapons they don’t normally train with.
A very fun and sweaty session was had by all
Jim is the latest of our students to pass his safety test and join the ranks of our Studenti.
In order to pass the safety test students must demonstrate control, efficacy and knowledge of the cuts and guards of bolognese swordplay.
Jim will now be able to progress to taking part in many of our other training streams as well as full sparring.
Wednesday saw our regular Godalming training session with three simultaneous streams of learning on offer to our students.
Sasha worked with students on single rapier, Adrian took the bolognese group through sword & buckler, and Fran and Richard worked with the beginners progressing towards their safety test.
Last Monday saw our regular Reading training session with three separate streams of training for our students.
Jay took the bolognese stream through sword & buckler, Matt worked with the rapier students on single rapier and Christophe helped progress the beginners towards their safety test.
Reading students met up in the centre of Reading last weekend for the latest School of the Sword social.
Drinks were drunk, pizza was consumed and some very nerdy jokes about fencing masters were exchanged.
Students gathered in Godalming last Wednesday for our regular weekly training session.
Sasha continued his lessons on single rapier, Adrian worked with the Bolognese group and Fran helped the beginners progressing towards their safety test.
Monday saw our regular training night in Reading with three streams of training available for our students.

Thanks to Josh for photo duties!
There was another good turnout to Sunday Sparring last Sunday with students from both Reading and Godalming turning up to practise their skills and try new techniques.
As always our students were good at giving each other constructive feedback. We believe that levelling up your sparring partner helps everyone in the long run.
Another busy night at Godalming this past Wednesday with three streams of learning taking place simultaneously.
Fran worked with the beginners progressing towards their safety test, Adrian worked with the bolognese group on attacks and counters with sword and buckler, and Sasha took the rapier group through their paces.
