LOST HEADS SEMINAR

Mark Davies ran a successful seminar on Sunday covering the use of the long blade. Some great historical information as ever and some kick ass moves. We started off building a defensive matrix against the long blade and then ran some combative sets. Mark then went through the empty hand version so everyone could see how the movements were done against an opponent armed with a weapon. The whole day was conceptual so everything we did with a long blade could be done with a stick for example or even an umbrella. We finished off with some Espada y Daga, long and short weapon. I really enjoyed this seminar and got so much from it. Although you are looking at historical material in essence, once you can conceptual then you empty hand and common object skills develop at a tremendous rate.
