Milking the unseasonably warm 🍂autumn weather for as much as we can get.

Fun exercise with Anezka. Here we are working on a time thrust of flanconade of 4th in second intention.

😅😅

Last week of Cloaktober!

On Sunday, I worked with Anna on some cloak basics and then we ran through some fun cloak actions — like casting/binding the opponent’s blade with our cloak.

training with my fencing partner, bro casually doing crazy white boy motion with coherent two sword actions.

This was one of three touches I could land in 15 minutes of passes.

Getting a dagger bind or transfer wasn't viable 99% of the time for me.

HEMA is more than just learning to sword fight. It can be a very personal journey that helps you learn more about yourself. This is what community is about and how swords can mean different things to different people.

What kind of sword journey are you on?

Video from when the sun was a bit warmer than today.

Building off previous lessons with Xavier on handling angulated attacks and yielding glides.

In a time when clipping your toenails too short could lead to infection, sepsis, and expiring, how did you practice your sword art safely?
Sticks? Herrings?

What do you think are good options?

Fencing in the blast furnace of Texas is...A LOT
But that's what hydration is for!
Thank goodness fall is around the corner with cooler weather.

Class snippet video from 2025 Cloaktober.

There's a few ways you can defend with the cloak when it's extended and the sword is withdrawn -- like from a standard Fabrisian third guard.

One of our fencers Jack Horan wrote this cool blog post on what we can learn from medieval British history through poetry and archeology.

Dueling sword/smallsword training with Eli (sans-VO).

Tricky drill. Engage and then parry the attack to the low line with a parry of 2nd, then riposte by glide to the torso OR detach to the arm.

Added the new Reading Edition of Pieces of Ringeck to the translations I keep at my desk. Just need someone to release an updated version of Lew and I can replace that old RDL copy.
