Monday saw our regular training session in Reading.
Matt worked with beginners working towards their safety test, Jay took the Bolognese class and Pim taught rapier & dagger.
Students gathered in Reading last Sunday for our regular Sunday Sparring event. There were a range of weapons in play including sideswords, daggers, longsword and sword & buckler.
These free sessions for students who have passed their safety test allow them to get in some valuable sparring time, practising the techniques they’ve learnt in our training sessions. It allows them to spar with people they don’t normally train with as well as try out some fun weapon combinations that are not part of our curriculum.
Students gathered in Godalming on Wednesday night for our weekly training session.
Pim took the rapier group, whilst Adrian taught sword & buckler and Fran & Terry worked with the beginners on the foundations of swordplay as part of their beginners’ course.
Ingo is the latest of our students to pass his safety test and join the ranks of our Studenti.
In order to pass the safety test students must demonstrate control, efficacy and knowledge of the cuts and guards of bolognese swordplay.
Ingo will now be able to progress to taking part in many of our other training streams as well as full sparring.
