The theme on Wednesday night at Godalming was all about movement. The beginners worked with Lizzie on the form needed for their safety test. Fran worked with the rapier group on some voiding drills. And Pim worked with the sword and buckler group on fighting at different measures.
Another busy night at Reading on Monday. Our beginners worked toward their safety test with Lorcan. Jay worked with the Bolognese group on grapples and Matt covered Alfieri’s humors with the rapier group.
Members from both our Reading and Godalming classes met up on Sunday for three hours of sparring across a number of disciplines. A good chance to practise skills picked up in classes over the past few weeks, there was a lot of hard work crammed into the session.
Back up to three streams in Godalming on Wednesday. Some lovely technical work in rapier, bolognese looked at footwork and distance management, and we had great progress in the beginners group.
Another busy night in Reading on Monday night. The beginner’s group worked with Mark on the form they’ll need to perfect as part of their safety test. The Single Sidesword group continued to work with Jay on grapples and the Rapier & Dagger group perfected some techniques Matt’s had them working on the past few weeks on defending against cuts.
Another great session in Godalming on Wednesday night: pitting single rapier against rapier and dagger, and working on second intention attacks in sword and buckler.
A busy night on Monday with the beginners group working toward their safety test with Stewart. In the senior groups, the sidesword group worked on grapples whilst the rapier and dagger group worked on defense against cuts. A lot of progress all round on another busy night.
Another night of lots and lots of fighting in Godalming this evening. Energy levels excellent throughout.
Some brilliant analysis and progress as well.
Another busy night at our new venue with multiple streams of learning. The rapier and dagger group looked at defence against cuts, the sidesword group looked at grapples and the candidati group continued their work on the form. Lots of hard work and enthusiasm from everyone!
A fantastic fun and energetic start to the year in Godalming tonight. Momentum was maintained throughout the evening in both rapier & dagger and the Bolognese group.
