Workshop: Introduction to Sword Sparring
This is a two-day workshop that introduces the participants to sword sparring. No previous weapon experience is assumed.
Much time is spent on:
- Basic exercises to get familiar with the sword and how to move it.
- Footwork drills to get used to using the sword in coordination with movement.
Some time is spent on:
- Drills that bridge the gap between form and applications and free sparring.
Three sparring sessions are planned, one the first day and two the second day.
We first arranged this workshop in Copenhagen together with the club PTCC Lyngby. The planning worked well so we intend to use the same concept again in the future.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in participating or arranging.
Here are some notes and the detailed planning of the workshop:
