This week at Crossing Fight School, we continue our Basics Block for Longsword. The next thing we will review are one of the crucial components of KDF, the guards. This class will review what the guards are, what they’re for, and how they can be used at each stage of the fight.

This lesson will also feature competitive exercises where one guard is used against another, how to break common attacks that originate from those positions, and what you can do if things go wrong. This is subject matter that lies at the heart of what we do, and although this class will be geared towards the newer practitioner, there will be something in this lesson for everyone.

You guys requested this review of more fundamental material, so I am hoping that many of you make it your business to attend.

See you all on Sunday. 🙂
