DESCRIPTION:
This
class will begin by examining the crossings of the sword,
and establishing the all-important why for
the tactical choice each play represents. Over the course of
the classes, we will cover at least the beginnings of each
section of the longsword out of armour (sword in one hand,
sword in two hands zogho
largo and zogho
stretto), and the circumstances in which each of the
four crossings shown most naturally occur. By the end,
students will be effortlessly choosing the correct play for
the circumstances they find themselves in. If time allows,
we will also look at some of the less commonly practised
plays and see how they fit in the system.
