An historical martial arts school in Croydon, Folkestone, and South London
From the end of this week you will be able to buy the “Italian Longsword” by Colin Richards from the web store.
It has some very useful information offering calm, clear and easy to follow instruction in Colin’s interpretation of Fiore Dei Libri’s works.
Excellent material for anyone, extremely useful and clear for a beginner.
A fair bit going on this month
Firstly I’m teaching a Longsword seminar in Scotland on Saturday 21st for Mark Wilkie, Mark is a student of the rather fine of Mark Davies,who as you may know taught a most excellent seminar on the Bowie knife for us earlier in the year, if anyone wanting to attend should call Mark Wilkie on 07875 255949
There is a new class: Croydon
Tuesdays 7.30 at last count we have one space, if you are interested contact us
The Nylon Swords are coming on apace with a messer hopefully being added in time for the first production run.
There is some very interesting news regarding masks coming too.
also the debate on the international open rules is going strong, and I’d again like to thank the folks on various forums for taking the time to argue through the finer points with me(Phillipe who must had bleeding ears for all the shouting I’ve done down the phone at him and Paul Wagner who is being most patient and polite with me on sfi). I’m enjoying the heated and reasoned debate that’s going on. I hope they may serve to unite the community.
Finally for now, a major change to the forum, as of today I’m closing the F.M forum and forwarding the link to the W.M.A.C forums. There are a few reasons I’ve chosen to do this and why I’ve linked to W.M.A.C. as opposed to the long running SFI or the UK based Schola or Exiles sites, all of which are great forums.
Most importantly of all is the approach of neutrality and welcome that is present on the new forum with a genuine feeling of open discussion and no presumed hierarchy with a strong move towards video based discussion. I hope it continues on with in the fine spirit it’s started.
I will see you there, and those other forums too I hope.
