One of the advantages of training with The School of the Sword is that we are large enough for it to be economically viable for us to fly in world-class instructors for day-long seminars.
You’ve probably seen Ilkka Hartikainen’s incredible videos on Marozzo.com and we were very pleased when he agreed to come to the UK to teach our students some Bolognese single sidesword. Knowing how popular this seminar would be we opened up a limited number of spaces to people from other schools, only for the event to fill incredibly quickly.
The day was a massive success. Starting with some warm up exercises and moving into footwork, Ilkka had the students building up drills into multiple intention attacks. Students came away buzzing and excited to put what they had learnt into use.
