Gerard Thibault's Academy of the Sword, published in 1630, stands as one of the most lavish treatises on the art of civilian swordplay ever written.
In this class, you'll work your way through Thibault's approach as you explore an elegant blending of fencing theory and techniques of Dutch-Spanish origin. You'll also practice taking a highly rational mental approach to the problems of fencing.
Your professional instructor will take you through the theoretical underpinnings of Thibault's system and teach you the techniques that manifest his theory.
By the end of class, you'll understand significance of the Academy of the Sword, and have the fundamental skills to incorporate its work into your practice.
Note: No experience necessary. Limited equipment is available for loan during class, including masks and weapons.

Fundamentals of Longsword January 31, 2019I really enjoyed getting to actually practice with my friends and just hearing the swords clank together was satisfying. The instruction was very good and clear. You knew exactly what you were doing.
