Before the team gets into the theme part of the lesson, we work on a few of our core, foundational actions and wrap it up with a tactical option drill.

Never forget: the saber has a point as well as an edge. Don’t forget to thrust, too!

Picked up some of the dueling swords and a smarra by Yixuan (via swordshop). Tossed on basic dry epee blades from Absolute Fencing.
The tang of the epee needs shortening for the smarra but the dueling swords are good to go.

Our classical fencing class continued to explore actions on the blade with a review of beats and a few ways of defeating beats.
In this drill, we assume the opponent landed a successful beat and is attacking direct in earnest.

Our saber class looks at both the light classical saber (pre-electric scoring sport fencing) and heavier dueling saber meant for old fashion duels.
Same system. Same approach. Slightly different weapons and rule sets. Lotta fun!

Envelopments are another fun action on the blade. Get engagement, then draw a circle without breaking blade contact.
A great action with lots of usefulness.
Our classical fencing class is Sundays mornings.

Sometimes you catch the right photo at the right time.
Nice squat edition of the Passata Sotto by Tristan. Beautifully timed.

Our rapier team gearing up for Birka (SCA) at the end of January. Fencing in small lists with wounds retained bear pit. 😅
Get hit in the arm? Can’t use that arm. Hit in the leg? Gotta fight sitting down. Go until someone loses both arms or is hit in the head or torso. 🧵

Been a slow slog but finished writing up my Fencing Masters Certificate Program flash cards.
267 in total.
I added a bunch of extra ones in addition to the ones in the back of Gaugler’s book.
Now to study, study, study…
