In a stressful world, make time for yourself. Make time for what matters.
Make time for joy. Make time for SWORDS!

Frohe Ostern!
Noch ein Punkt auf der wachsenden Liste von Dingen, über die ich noch bald ein Video machen möchte: In den Royal Armouries in Leeds liegt ein historisches #Rapier zum Üben, von dem ich nun eine Replik besitze, hergestellt von Florian Fortner/FF Swords.

Illustration and text from Royal Armories I.33 as seen in "The Medieval Art of Swordsmanship" edited by Jeffrey L. Foreng
Cover of the book "The Medieval Art Of Swordsmanship" edited by Jeffrey L. Forgeng. Blue dust jacket featuring a cross pattee surrounded by a ring of inward facing crescents.
Got the I.33 facsimile by Jeffrey Forgeng the other day. It's beautiful. I now have a printed book for my 3 primary weapon systems. #HEMA

There is something incredibly cool in having a club T-shirt that doubles as a pirate flag.☠️❤️⚔️
Sitting listening to the wind careering through the trees was so beautiful I had to come down and listen.

A cape with a black and silver spiderweb outer fabric and a red inner lining
We are currently doing a module of side sword and cape in #HEMA class. Had to just use a towel last week but I got my crafting on this weekend and threw a dueling cape together. It’s just cotton and a repurposed Halloween tablecloth.
5 classes in and the folks who get it are enjoying my Messer unit, I think. That said, I think our club struggles to teach folks how to cut if it's not something they figure out along the way. Our feedback during drills hasn't been enough. #HEMA folks, foolproof way to teach cutting form?
The image shows Julius Caesar wearing a HEMA/ fencing mask, sitting inside some flames, while a longsword and a rapier stab him in the back. He's saying "This is fine" like the dog meme.
I forgot to share this lil sticker I made for my HEMA club (Compagnia delle Lance Spezzate) for the sparring event we had last month during the Ides of March!

Home sweet home! We just finished our first week of classes at our new home!
We're excited for everything to come together and welcome students into our new gym.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
Hope to see you there! ⚔️

Two HEMA fencers in a gym. One in protective gear and one in regular street clothes.
Three years ago today my wife and I took this "Intro to Longsword" class at our local #HEMA club. I enjoyed it so much I came back the next week for my first free class and now 3 years later I am helping to run the club as we settle into our own private training space. Crazy! ⚔️
Nach fast sieben Jahren DIMICATOR Schola und vier Jahren mit unverändertem Trainingsplan probieren wir jetzt etwas Neues. Buntes Programm für Einsteiger und mehr Trainingszeiten für die Fortgeschrittenen, damit sie schneller vorankommen.

Hotel is booked for SERFO in June! We did a shared house last year but I am too old to sleep on a trundle bed and share a bathroom with 7 other people, before trying to go fence in the morning 😀 My back alone applauds my hotel decision! #HEMA
With our new location comes some new classes. In Wednesday night longsword we are starting an extensive Fiore (sword in 2 hands) module that is expected to last the next few months. Super looking forward to it. #HEMA

These two were pleasures to fence. A feeling of constant progression throughout the Smallsword class. Bringing different approaches to each exchange.
Sweaty, charming beauty.

Yayyyy new sword! I wanted something with an ambidextrous hilt so I could switch to righty when teaching. It's a touch shorter and much more back-weighted than my swept hilt, which I think I prefer. I also had the grip shortened to fit my baby hands. Made by Seven Embers Forge. #HEMA #rapier
