This week at Crossing Fight School, we will be in the tumble room for a lesson on Ringen with Aidan and Dan Black. This is a much-anticipated class that aims to feature one of the critical, but rarely taught facets of HEMA.

Grappling comprises a central component of our system and is present in numerous period sources, but is not widely practiced. Study in this area promotes proficiency in many skills common to every weapon system, including timing, body control, and positioning for takedowns. No matter your aims in HEMA, the study of wrestling will be of much use in your training, so consider this a class not to be missed.

See you all on Sunday.
