Oxford Sparring – 25th March 2023

2023-04-20T08:07:17+00:00March 25th, 2023|Dagger, Longsword, Oxford, Rapier|

This weekend saw students from our Oxford chapter head out for some outdoor freeplay.  Sparring gives them a student 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 Oxford students were joined today by members of Milton Keynes’ Clashing Steel for their regular sparring session. Fighting against new opponents not only gives you an opportunity to practise your skills, but to see how they stack up against an unknown opponent.
