Rolling all evening in the longsword class at Crystal Palace. Progressive challenges to change the way we freeplay. An utter joy.

While everyone else performed the exercise, me and Brendon slip off to constant roll. All about the footwork and quite excellent.

Oh the dagger class.
Surreal, beautiful and focussed in between drenchings of laughter.
A little Paulus Hector Mair, a lot of Achille Marozzo, butt tons of fun.

I love the beautiful mayhem of this. The Tuesday mixed weapons class. Sabres, Dussacks, staves, stick sticky sticks.

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

This was the slightly more gentle drill that didn’t involve stabbing them with the grapple😈⚔️😈

the "he does exactly what I do but better" meme. The first panel is labelled so "zornhau" is complaining to "incoming oberhau"; the second panel is "schielhau" smugly claiming superiority

You ever just make a meme for a friend group that isn't limited to just them, but only a very specific niche of people are going to get?
