Tonight was our regular training night for our Swindon Chapter. Our students continued work on the duel streams we are currently studying: Sword & Cape and the foundations of Giovanni dall’Agocchie’s single sidesword.
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.
Our Oxford students gathered for their normal weekly training tonight. Tonight they had the pleasure of Kristian teaching them The Four Humors. A lot of concentration and hard work.
Our Oxford student met up again today for their regular outdoor freeplay session. These sparring get-togethers provide the perfect opportunity to practise techniques learned in class as well as get experience of fighting against opponents they might otherwise not get regular practise against.
Our Godalming students met up in Chilworth this weekend for the latest in the chapter’s regular sparring sessions. 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.
It was the second week of the new term and tonight student’s continued progressing with work on our duel lesson block: looking at sword & cape as well as the foundations of Giovanni dall’Agocchie’s single sidesword.
Students from our Godalming Chapter met up in Chilworth this weekend for their regular weekly sparring session. These sessions give students chance to practise technics learnt in training as well as spar with partners they wouldn’t normally fight with.
Tonight our Godalming chapter welcomed our latest group of fencers embarking our beginners course in sidesword and buckler. They worked super hard and we look forward to training together over the coming weeks.
A new year and our Swindon students started it by looking at two new weapon combinations. We started the evening looking at Dall’aggochie’s low guards as we start to learn single sidesword, and then also started our work on Sword & Cloak.
Today saw our Godalming students had their final freeplay session of the year. There was a great turnout with a great array of disciplines on display.
