We are following the
ARMA system for historical fencing and study.
Currently we are studying from the
Lindholm & Svard edition of Master Ringeck's Knightly Art of the Longsword.
Additionally we are using the
Zabinski and Walczak edition of Codex Wallerstein.
In class we primarily use wasters, or wooden training swords. These may be purchased from ARMA-approved vendors or home made.
We also make use of the ARMA-style padded sword for full-contact sparring, as well as use blunt steel when appropriate.
Please leave sharp steel swords at home. |
