Oxford Sparring – 31st March 2024

2024-05-07T23:58:53+00:00March 31st, 2024|Longsword, Oxford, Sidesword|

Sunday saw our Oxford students gather for a bit out outdoor freeplay. These sessions are always helpful. There’s only so much time during a lesson to learn a new technique and often the best way to practise it is to incorporate it into sparring.

This week our smallsword class revised Plates VII, VIII & IX – thrusts under the opponent’s elbow to the low line.  They then worked on Pages 22-25 which looked at recoveries from tierce and carte thrusts into an upright, feet together posture, rather than a ‘natural’ guard.
