The temptation is to hold tight, but when you let go that little bit, the sword will tell you where to go.

Épée à deux mains

Depuis le début de ma pratique des AMHE, la pratique de l'épée à deux mains me tente tellement même si j'aime énormément l'épée longue ✨️

From a wonderful and productive lesson on the montante, and the spadone of Alfieri.

There is an insistence among my cats, that the eye of the maelstrom is the calmest place.

I made a video on how to make a safe practice mangual with pickleballs, so you don't do a silly thing and injure yourself or others.

After class, I practiced jumping with the mangual and continuing to move and be steady. Jumping once is easy; I wanted to practice several jumps in one flourish.

These movements are in line with Viedma's and Figueyredo's montante rules, applied with a mangual.

Connected to my montante writing project, I've resolved to read more broadly.

Books in English on Jogo do Pau are a little difficult to find, and some are out of print. A few are $20-30, one was $150, and this specific copy is listed for the typical "fuck you" out-of-print price.

Cracking start to the day, Mair staff done so slowly you can check the pressure at every point.

Another beautiful picture from Lee Malone Photography and a montante I love so much.

Let's try this.

With my new job, writing on my mini montante gloss/guide/manual has stalled. I've got a solid outline, but I feel like it needs more.

If you wanted to pick up a montante guide, what would you want it to answer?

Where you at this fine Thursday?

I thought it’s about time we cracked back on with some videos.

Let’s know what you fancy and let’s get the sword rolling.
