Wrenched my elbow walking the dog so so much for #HEMA class tonight. Though at least I can get and get one more #SSTV pass from the ISS tonight so it’s not a total loss of an evening. #HAMRADIO

Randomly looked up Michael Hundt on Wiktenauer and was delighted to see that his illustrations actually show rapiers with blunts on their tips. I'm so used to seeing idealized illustration of naked men with sharps - it's refreshing to see a realistic depiction of actual period training. #HEMA

Had some fun with a longsword. The last time I used one was about three years ago. I started my HEMA journey in the longsword sea, then moved on to the rapier ocean. #hema #longsword #fencing #sword

Dussack from a private lesson. We stopped giggling enough to get a lot of Longsword done as well.

Brilliant progress.

Verdadera destreza with the sabre from Simon de Frias. From the delightful Sword Saturday.

Times are weird so time to #hema

Great folk to spend a night with. The Friday Longsword class. Full of joy, Liechtenauer, and naked glove puppets.

#Hema #Geometry #Grappling This month a focus on grappling techniques with dagger or messer. Should be fun although we have to be extra careful due to joint manipulation and risks of injury

Wrath work in the Crystal Palace longsword class.

Some of you may be aware, but I'm a #HEMA swordswoman and into all things Medieval history. One of my friends is doing a charity run in full armor (yes, full 15thc. drip) for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. Please donate or share!
