An historical martial arts school in Croydon, Folkestone, and South London
Peter Lewis (right) deflects Pete “Iron” Maydon’s thrust and returns the favour.
Congratulations Mr Lewis, on Sunday just past, you showed the most massive improvement I’ve seen, you have stepped your training up a notch.
A massive leap in standard you can really be proud of, keep it up.
By instructor Peter Samworth: Down here at the Folkestone arm of the Boar’s Tooth Fight school we are continuing to train in the German tradition. We have been focusing on longsword, both unarmoured and armoured, with very pleasing results. We have spent the last few years perfecting flow drills that link together manuscript sections; these allow students to develop their skills swiftly and efficiently and vastly improves their understanding of the manuals.
In the New Year in we will continue training in the longsword, but will also introduce messer, dagger and even spear work into the mix. As the classes are small it allows us to train more intensely and for students to get closer supervision again allowing quicker progress through the system.
I will be starting a beginner’s course on Thursday the 4th of Feb, anyone coming to try out will get the second lesson free.
If you want to register for a class or want any further information you can contact me at samworthdecobham@yahoo.co.uk
Sadly due to the snow, training has had to be cancelled tonight as many train-lines are disrupted. Next Wednesday is on as normal.
Build a snow man and I’ll see you next week.
