Last week we looked at something different, daggers. We started the class by looking at Joachim Meyer's dagger, we then moved on and contrasted this by looking at Achille Marozzo's use of the dagger. This led to a discussion of how a single dagger might be used within a destreza framework. Unfortunately we ran out of time before we could look at using rapier and dagger together.

Photos: the focus of last weeks class was from footwork to defence. Excellent work from everyone there and it was wonderful seeing the hall so full.

Photos from last week's class: looking at using strength against weakness and greater reach against lesser reach in reference to body position and how our approach changes if our opponent is squared, profiled or in-between.
