Oxford Sparring – 28th July 2024

2024-07-28T20:10:27+00:00July 28th, 2024|Longsword, Oxford, Sabre|

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.

Oxford Sparring – 21st July 2024

2024-07-21T23:53:36+00:00July 21st, 2024|Longsword, Oxford, Sabre|

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.

Swindon Training – 17th July 2024

2024-07-21T21:54:09+00:00July 17th, 2024|Sidesword, Swindon|

It was our regular Wednesday night training session in Swindon today.  We continued our look at Docciolini’s two swords.  Today we looked at counters whilst also trying to up the defense to a single tempo.  With so much steel in the way, it’s tough on both the body and mind.  Great levels of analysis by all students.
