Rob looking at a rear foot evasion against an oncoming attack in single sword. Some fencing masters did not like this, as it could present the back to the enemy, but provides us with the possibility of looking at some footwork!

Light sparring in rapier and dagger between Rob (Green) and Adam (Black) . Note Adam's attempt at the infamous 'cheap shot' to the leg!

Goodbye to Melissa who is moving away. Absolute pleasure to train with and will be a credit to any club lucky enough to have her join.

(Sound on) A very delighted Rory seeing not one, but two cheap shots (a cut to the leg, more for annoying each other than anything else)

Rory demonstrates a deception, drawing a parry which is then avoided and setting up a cut to the forearm.

Rob and Rory in constrained sparring. The fencers have to keep a close distance and practice attacking without being hit. They can't rely on speed as that will result in a double hit. This requires both to 'play the game'!
