Oxford Sparring – 17th March 2024
Our Oxford students met up again today for their regular weekend sparring. Sparring gives them a chance to exchange with students they might not have sparred with before, practise weapons that might not currently be in the training curriculum, as well as get some much needed time to incorporate new techniques and tactics into their swordplay.

Our Swindon students have been doing a lot of work looking at Sword & Cape this year, and sadly tonight was their last session on it. We finished off looking at some cape throws from Fabris, and then spent some time gearing up to play with all the skills we’ve learned over the past weeks.

Oxford Sparring – 3rd March 2024
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.
