It was the first session of 2016 on Monday with all our Reading students gathering at our new permanent venue in the centre of Reading
Candidati continued to work with Stewart on preparing for their safety test whilst Studenti split into two groups, one working on sidesword with Jay, and the other doing Rapier & Dagger with Matt. Despite the Xmas break everyone soon got back in the swing of things with lots of hard work from everyone.
With Simon working with a few students preparing for their safety tests, the intermediates and seniors worked together on sword & buckler sparring. This allowed those with more experience to refresh their training whilst imparting knowledge to those less experienced. A really good level of work from everyone and a lot of fun!
A good turnout at Godalming on Wednesday with the class joined by a number of Reading regulars. The seniors worked on a number of flow drills with rapier & dagger whilst the beginners’ group continued to make progress toward their safety test.
A good turnout on Wednesday for our Godalming Class including a guest from Switzerland.
The seniors focused on counters in rapier and dagger. The sword and buckler group worked on cutting with some brilliant progress all the way through.
