Every Friday evening at the Winston Churchill School Leisure Centre, we run several beginner classes throughout the year. Classes run every Friday from 8pm to 9.30pm. Class Structure:
We begin with an informal, fun 10 to 15 minute warm-up. Class is then split into formal teaching and sparring. Advanced, approved experienced fighters may use the sparring area from this point. The remainder of th
e group will have a formal class for a minimum of an hour. After the taught class session, those who are cleared to spar will then have coached sparring for the remainder of the session, or join in with the experienced members’ free play. Those who are not cleared to spar, or who do not wish to on that occasion, will remain to be taught, or will be integrated into the sparring area in order to practice judging/learn from the more experienced members. Class Topics:
Scheduled classes include Military Sabre, Backsword and its related weapons. Primarily Sword & Buckler. In addition to this, occasional special classes on Longsword, Dagger and Sword & Shield are arranged. Check our page for an up to date class schedule. Catch Wrestling:
Catch Wrestling led by Martin Austwick will sometimes run at the same time. For details of this awesome additional activity, please join the SG5 Wrestlers group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/197...
