Class Title: Offhand shenanigans

Hands on lecture

Using only one hand when doing onehanded weapons? Ridiculous! Double up your AP and use both hands. Maybe even stab them with their own sword or dagger. If you don’t know what to do with you off hand or need some entries for those close quarter hallway fights then this class is for you

Bring:

Mask and gloves a minimum, preferably full kit. Onehanded weapons preferred, bring a dagger or buckler as well if you have them. Longswords will work for most things. Prepare for light grappling (more like hugs)


Class Title: BELLE ÉPOQUE SELF-DEFENCE

Introductory workshop to the system developed by Charles Pechard, police commissioner of the city of Paris at the end of the 19th century. During the class you will see different means of defense and attack, teaching how to stop, immobilize, defeat or knock down an opponent.

Bring:

  • Cane/staff/stick

  • A Hat

  • A cape

  • Heavy gloves

  • Fencing mask

Some capes will be available for borrowing.
