This week at Crossing Fight School, we will be having a collaboration class of sorts. I would like to accomplish a couple of things.

First, with the use of sparring games, I would like to see fighters remedy certain deficiencies in their fencing, shoring up any weaknesses wherever possible, and working with someone of their choosing.

Second, I’d like to work through some of the more difficult plays from Paurenfeyndt’s Longsword involving Ringen am Schwert (wrestling at the sword). The language is vague at best, and sorting out these last few remaining plays would best be with a few people involved.

Obviously, there will be lots of sparring time available, so plan accordingly.

See you all on Sunday.
