@masteratarms.bsky.socialHow good? That good!
Something I need to talk about at some point is the many earlier examples or the tornada. Tonight it’s applications in Longsword and some of its counters.
Bloody awesome.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialGirard Thibault and Viedma in the verdadera destreza class.
I loved how these two worked together.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialI.33 in the sword and buckler class. New folk getting stuck into second cover. Exceptional work.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialDussack from a private lesson. We stopped giggling enough to get a lot of Longsword done as well.
Brilliant progress.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialA delightfully focused Girard Thibault session.
Verdadera Destreza techniques outside the arm, followed by happy freeplay.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialWe’re going to need a bigger dungeon!
When it’s quiet it’s always nice to bring out the big toys!
From the Crystal Palace mixed weapons class.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialI got quoted 😂
For context, we were discussing safety in and how to get the most out of drills in the Longsword and sword in one hand class.
But this made me giggle. Thanks Simon.☺️

@masteratarms.bsky.socialInterlude.
Been a fantastic start to the week, and more about the classes tomorrow. For now though, tea and Baldur’s Gate (again). See you on the sunny side.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialA few more pages of Girard Thibault (only one of which belongs to me). To stand and marvel at these is an honour, and what subtleties you miss in most reproductions.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialVerdadera destreza in the fore, Longsword at the back. Impressed with everyone finding their own focus of improvement and working at it hard.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialWith courtesy and control.
Vedadera Destreza in the Friday class.
#learnswordfighting #community #davidrawlings #hema #londonlongswordacademy
@masteratarms.bsky.socialFrom the fundamentals class. Always beautiful to see how quickly you can get a class understanding the complex by explaining it simply.

@masteratarms.bsky.socialHubud? You bud, we’re talking bout the blade.
Dance sickle dance, dance sickle dance.
Paulus Hector Mair sickle work this evening. In the Crystal Palace class.
