True Skill is a system in the middle of the 16th century for weapons that provided moderate protection to the hand that wielded them compared to the following century, the golden age of the system. In this workshop we will work on the most common techniques of the system but adapted to these weapons, as they might have been at the time of their creation, both in the context of their practice against other practitioners of the system and their application against the techniques of the other schools of the time.
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!
