About this experience
A workshop rather than a class. The two-handed sword rewards patience and distance, so the first hour is about footwork, reach and timing with the wooden trainer. The second hour covers half-swording, wrenches and the murder-stroke, then supervised pairs in full kit.
Suitable for beginners with reasonable fitness; the trainer weighs around 2.5 kg.
