Hello everyone 👋
A reminder that we start at 8pm so please turn up a bit before so we can get the most put of our time in the hall.
Tonight we'll be continuing with the Longsword: Beginner Basics series for the first half and then move on to some slightly more advanced stuff in the second half with the usual free sparring, king of the hill boffers and we can make practice space to continue practicing what we did in the class like last time if there are people who want that 🙂
