About this experience
Our core sword session. The first half covers footwork, the guard positions and the principal cuts and thrusts with wooden trainers. The second half moves to blunt steel feders in full protective kit: mask, gorget, gloves, jacket. You drill parries and counters with a partner, and finish with instructor-supervised exchanges at reduced speed.
No previous experience needed. People who train regularly often use this session as a weekly class.
