Lesson 21
We had a new fencer come out to practice today. He’s done a little bit of work in the past with I33, German longsword as well as several years of SCA heavy fighting. Here’s what we went through today:
We started by going over the stance, basic footwork and the lunge. We practiced the footwork for a few minutes and then went on to cover the sword, basic hand positions, guards and parries. Then I had him put on a mask and we did the following lesson.
- From the invitation in 3rd, straight thrust
- From the invitation in 4th, straight thrust
- From the engagement in 4th, straight thrust (we skipped disengagements)
- From the engagement in 3rd, straight thrust
- From the invitation in 3rd, parry 4th, riposte by glide
- From the invitation in 4th, parry 3rd, riposte by glide
- From the invitation in 3rd, time thrust in 4th.
- From the invitation in 4th, time thrust in 3rd.
- From the invitation in 3rd, three straight thrusts end of lesson.
