Due to the contentious comments on yesterday’s video, Robyn felt it necessary to address Posture of the Straight Line gate.

What’s everyone listening to today?
I bet a lot of Bad Bunny😊
Also this is why the mopping might have hit a bit high on the walls😂

I wonder if there is some interdenominational chat that knows me as, Dave who introduces himself as “did you know our earliest fencing manual is a priest teaching swordfighting, and is the first treatise to show a woman fencing and men fencing?”😂

Sometimes the shot doesn’t land, but it’s sooooo fun learning from the misses! Then hitting ☺️⚔️☺️

Freeplay in the smallsword class.

I.33 and working the Schutzen against 2nd ward and its plays in the sword and buckler class.

Polearms in the mixed weapons class. Partisan, staff, halberd and poleaxe all on the same night.
Achille Marozzo, Joachim Meyer, and a metric ton of stabbiness.

I’m just hoping my moustache grows big enough to do that in an updraft.

I’ve never wanted this to be a marginalia typo more!

Rescue indoor swords! They need love too!

So, looking at our options, we have: Reform, the same old Tories and worse.
Green Party, not Nazis, and nice.
Hmmm🤔

Achille Marozzo and flowing through some Joachim Meyer. Lovely work from everyone and caught this moment of poise from these three.

Another beautiful Sword Saturday.
Polearms, Longsword and the invisible sabre class (I forgot to take pics)
Our incredible community!❤️⚔️❤️

In the strange interconnected of things, I met a friend the other day who I never had, and they reminded me of a friend who offered a place to stay after the attack on London Bridge, unquestioning to strangers in need. These things are remembered with love.

Today I saw a friend and thought of another who isn’t here but brings me love with stupid 2 am texts. I saw people across the world trying to make things better for others in the face of unbelievable odds. Look beneath the infected wounds of the world you can see so many cells rushing to heal it.

How much do I love this sword?!?
Updated reviews coming soon

A beautiful day and a private lesson just before the rain came in.
A birthday party with a few Dungeons and Dragons friends who decided to pit rogue against fighter and Druid against cleric as Bruce watched on!

Warm up in the smallsword class is a debonair affair.

Jenrick joining reform was as predictable as a sh*t after cigarettes and coffee.

A fecking great session, for me a lot of work on proceeding with resolution,
And everyone having an access of what we did and what we can do better.

Almost everyone up to dance. Freeplay in the sword and buckler class.

Work to be proud of, after a good hard session of Achille Marozzo and the Anonimo Bolognese!

I’m often asked what treatises we work from, so here are a few.

What is best in life? (Tuesday edition).

Tuesday nights are awesome. Missed the feeeplay, but I was doing the freeplay.

You have a rotella? The time is now!☺️

There is no way this is going to start a trend.

Bluedog forge:)

One of the best things about having a really sharp partisan is that you get to spin it in the manner of Pascha, while grinning on the inside.

Polearms are fun.

I look forward to it!☺️
