Tonight saw Swindon’s regular training session and a continuation into our work looking at Dalla’gocchie’s single sidesword. Tonight we started looking at one of his most famous drills: Varry Amongst Guards. We started to learn this as a solo drill.
Godalming students had a choice between two different streams at our weekly training session tonight. Fran continued her rapier and dagger refresh / intro lessons, while Mark continued his lessons on sword and buckler.
Reading students were in for a bit of a treat tonight. Due to illness, the usual streams were delayed for a week and instead students got to spend the evening sparring with one another. 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.
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.
