October 23, 2010: Roland Warzecha, I.33 Sword and Buckler

Roland Warzecha is one of the most dynamic practitioners of I.33 sword and buckler in the world, and is gathering quite a reputation as an instructor. We are fortunate to have him come over to share his interpretation and training methods with us.

He says:

The aim of the class will be two-fold:
to gain an understanding of the tactical approach of MS I.33 and, secondly, to learn basic skills with particular attention to sword and body mechanics. Both of which is designed to provide a useful foundation for further exploration of the manuscript and application of tactics and techniques in free play.
The class will be usefull for both beginners as well as seasoned buckler fighters.
Please bring appropriate steel blunt and a buckler, plus mask and light gloves. You may occassionally need a gauntlet or protective glove for your swordhand. Neck protection is strongly recommended. If you have additional equipment for freeplay, feel free to bring it along.

Time: 11.00 to 17.00 (lunch 13.30-14.30)

Place: Helsinki salle

Cost: SHMS members and affiliates: 50e per day (concessions: 40e). Everyone else: 60e.
