Swindon Training – 17th July 2024
It was our regular Wednesday night training session in Swindon today. We continued our look at Docciolini’s two swords. Today we looked at counters whilst also trying to up the defense to a single tempo. With so much steel in the way, it’s tough on both the body and mind. Great levels of analysis by all students.

Swindon Training – 10th July 2024
It was our regular training session tonight, and due to the football numbers were low, so in place of our scheduled two sword work, we instead used this session to review student’s progress and give them an individual action plan and some coaching based on their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Swindon Training – 3rd July 2024
It was our regular Swindon training session tonight, and we continued our work looking at Docciolini’s two swords. We started with a warm up, trying to do the pretzel and figure of eight with two swords, before continuing our work with Dociolini. Because of the complexity, this week we looked to perfect the base drill as a two tempo move. Some great level of concentration, and some good level up.

Swindon Training – 26th June 2024
Our Swindon student’s started a new block tonight when we began to look at two swords (otherwise known as a case of swords). It was a hot night so we took it slow, starting off with having some fun during warm up before moving onto the more serious work of Docciolini’s. We stepped through the moves, breaking each of the parts into their own tempo.

Swindon Training – 19th June 2024
Tonight was the last night of our block on Dalla’gocchie’s Single Sidesword. We finished off by looking at more defenses and responses. Our students have come a long way in the last 6 months, having never studied single sidesword before to now having a good grasp of the concepts. Excellent work by all students
