Fundamentals Class Description

Our fundamentals class (Wed, 6:30-7:30) is a 6 week session covering saber or German longsword.  Students learn the fundamental techniques and practice them in drills and games.  The session rotates through techniques weekly so someone attending 6 straight weeks would get an introduction to all the basic techniques in one system(note this is introduction only, not mastery of these skills). The 6 week sessions alternate between saber and longsword and the same fundamental techniques are covered in both. Students will test into advanced classes in 6-8 weeks depending on attendance and skill. Classes are $20 each

Advanced Class Descriptions

Source studies classes takes place immediately after fundamentals class (7:30-9:00). These 2 classes each focus on a different historical source or system and work to teach them from the existing sources. Other weapon systems in addition to longsword are  studied: sword & buckler, dagger, wrestling, various polearms, messer, rapier, smallsword, military saber/backsword and fixed bayonet. Some source studies classes require students to pass a safety test. 

Applied Skills class  (6:30-7:30) This group consists of members who have passed a safety test in order to ensure the safety of other members.  Applied skills focuses on refining basic techniques, exploring more complex techniques, and studying more intensive concepts of combat such as initiative, tactics, distance and timing at sparring speed. Class topics are often student suggested.  

Classes are $20 per month
