This week at Crossing Fight School, we’ll be having our 3rd installment of the Basics Block for Longsword. Next, we’ll be focusing on that often overlooked part of our training, footwork.

We all fence from the ground up and use our lower body to drive the actions we make with our upper body. Without solid footwork, many opportunities are either lost, or never appear in the first place. Losing a tempo is very often the price we pay for failing to be in position to seize the initiative. This class aims to mitigate these circumstances.

We have already reviewed binding in week 1, the guards and how to deal with them in week 2, and this class should be a good follow-up to both of those.

See you all on Sunday. 🙂
