Oxford Sparring – 2nd April 2023

2023-04-20T08:00:26+00:00April 2nd, 2023|Longsword, Oxford, Rapier|

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.

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.
