In this workshop we will dispose of advances, lunges, step-lunges, ballestras and other bullshit like that and focus on one of the simplest things we can do – walking. We will take a stroll through Fabris’ peculiar way of fencing, introduced in the second part of his book (you know, the one everyone kinda ignores?). Expect to sneak around like a ninja, dance more than a diestro, embrace your inner penguin and use the superpower of taking a casual stroll to hit your opponent. By the end of it all fencing for you will be no more than a walk in the park.

In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!
