Blade Actions
INSTRUCTOR: Brad Waller ROOM: TBA
DESCRIPTION:   This class will a bit of the ole rough and tumble so be prepared to move.  By exploring the relationship between Marozzo, Meyer, Durer & Talhoffer we will branch out to show the correlations in Closings, Locks and Traps.  Using the Pressas system we will see how it informs working with the Blade by examining certain plays and then extrapolating this into blade work with the Dagger, Messer, Longsword and Rapier (if we get to it).  Special emphasis will be on balance, transfer of energy and tempo.
