[Moo] Fighter Practice 10-4 Saturday 22 Aug at Cian & Catherine's (Fredericksburg, VA)

[Cian Conor MacQuaid]

Open private gathering (practice) at our place (Fredericksburg, VA),
Saturday 10-4. Plenty of flattish, hard, open ground. Please drop me a
line if you plan to attend so we have an idea for numbers. Non-fighters
welcome to work on hand projects inside. Please dress pretty, our yard
is visible to the whole subdivision.

Ideally we will have all individual combat forms represented: HMA,
Heavy, Rapier, and C&T. My intent is to help show some of the crossover
skills to encourage people to appreciate and participate across a
broader spectrum of activities. And let you fight as much as you can in
one day. :-D

If there is no one with more knowledge available I will start at 10 with
langschwert and dusack cutting and stepping drills applicable primarily
to heavy and to a much lesser degree C&T. Then we will do [Spear as a
108" rapier], followed closely by [Rapier as a 40"(ish) spear]. After
this we will break down by discipline for fighting or lessons depending
on the will of the audience. Again, the idea is to try / practice new
things for their own sake or to strengthen your primary form.

We will have water and some sports drinks. Bring snacks if you like.
Afterwards anyone who is interested can join us for an early dinner
(before the rush, hence the 4:00 end time) at
Boston Grill & Pizzeria
10 Leeland Rd # 105
Fredericksburg, VA 22405-2129
(540) 371-1419‎
Pizza, mexican, italian, sandwiches, burgers, beer. Something for just
about everyone.
