Getting mask time

Submitted by Ludwig von Rege... on January 11, 2013 - 12:18pm

While regular classes are on hiatas over the summer, we're not going to seed.  Matt, David, Chantelle and I got together for some sparring practice on Wednesday, on the spacious lawn outside Chantelle's studio.  We just played "King of the hill" for about 90 minutes, which worked out really well for the four of us: we cycled through quite quickly, so everyone got plenty of fencing, and the mix of abilities was such that everyone spent some time staying in.

Lesson 1 on Spanish rapier taught by Matt based on the scholarship of Puck and Mary Curtis.  This is derived from 16th and 17th century works by Carranza, Pacheco and Ettenhard.

A session on "The Rose".  We welcomed a new fencer, Sam, who after a few minutes tuition was thrown into the Pit of Reconstruction.

Devices from Langort (Longpoint):  We looked at some of these briefly last week.  As well as completing this section, I wanted to revisit the Rose.  Remember that these proceed from the bind.

Some longsword devices from Meyer, several featuring "the Rose".

Device from Nebenhut (Side guard), in this case on the right: If your opponent cuts at your opening..., then spring out with right foot to his left and cut with crossed hands above and behind his blade at his head.

Warmup: Meyer's six cuts example from the treatise on the Dusack.  With longsword you end on the same foot that you started, so this passage can be mirrored on the other side.

A selection of Meyer's devices from the postures.
