Top Tier Columbia
Mon, 13 Sep 2021 08:00 PM – Mon, 15 Nov 2021 10:00 PM
This class is designed to aid people who have completed the beginner's class to move into our open longsword class. We will be reviewing footwork, cuts, guards, and drills. We will be delving deeper into biomechanics, the 'how', of techniques, and begin to understand the 'why' of techniques as well. We will look into fundamental concepts of Liechtenauer Longsword such as Vor, Nach, Indes, soft and hard interactions, the Krieg, the Zufechten, and using multiple intentions. This is not restricted to people who have just completed the beginner class. All are welcome. There will be a skills test at the end of this course in order to be allowed to move on to the open longsword class. Equipment Requirements: Longsword, mask, gloves. If you do not have these we have some loaner gear, but cannot promise enough for everybody especially when the beginner's class is running.

Intro to Meyer Dussack
Sep

2021 Past Event
Top Tier Columbia
08:00 PM – 10:00 PM
This will be a one time class only taught by guest instructors Wendy Marques and Jeff Jacobson from Tattershall School of Defense! Wendy is a former Maryland KdFer and we'll be so pleased to have her back! This class will delve into the second book of Joachim Meyer's 1570 "Gründtliche Beschreibung der Kunst des Fechtens" or "The Art of Combat" which covers dussack. The dussack is, most notably, a training weapon for all single handed weapons, but also a sword in its own right. This one day class will cover all the basic cuts and guards of Meyer's dussack.  At the end of the class, we have a very special tournament where you can use your newfound skills in dussack! There will be prizes for 1-4th places and there is an optional, but encouraged charity donation! All the proceeds will go to fund a memorial and recovery fund for a Tattershall member who recently passed at a young age of cancer, tragically leaving behind her husband and 5-year-old son.
