Current Swordwind students and HEMA friends! Join us on Sunday, February 16th for a riveting dive into the dark and oft confused world of "fencing footwork". The 1595 Club "Footwork" (as opposed to what is better classed "legwork" in many systems) examines the problems of how to align the body correctly for efficient movement, strong defense, or well-placed offense in the larger context of simply moving ones-self about in three dimensions while holding a sword. Come explore the ancient secrets of "the shift" and what horizons these small, well-timed footwork actions can do for your fencing!
REQUIRED GEAR

*If you bring a two handed sword and there is time, we can explore the applications of these techniques with them!
