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.  There were a variety of weapons on offer this weekend including longsword and rapier, giving students practise with weapons that might not currently be on the training curriculum.
