About this experience
The sword-and-shield session covers how the shield is actually used: as a second weapon, not a wall. You learn shield positions, how to move behind it, how to strike with the rim and how to open an opponent's guard. Sword work covers the one-handed cuts and thrusts and the classic combinations.
The session ends with round-robin exchanges in protective kit at controlled speed.
