Tuntikuvaus

The workshop will be divided into two parts. We will spend the first part going through various longsword Stucke from Joachim Meyer. The stucke are used as a teaching method to learn specific movements and principles, and are often provided with different options depending on how the opponent reacts. Longer stucke also works great as a tool to build fluidity and fencing with calm and awareness even in a hectic situation, making the fencer used to chained movements and immediate decision making.

Part two consists of freer exercises where we explore different tactics for choosing how to engage the opponent, gauging the opponents situation and setting up the specific situations that we want to exploit. This is taken both from the historical sources aswell as from modern fencing theory.
