Sorry about the lateness. Training starts 1 October!

Anyway I have enthusiasts keen to start straight away, and well, I haven't been doing enough WMA lately.

So without further ago:

    Monday: German medieval martial arts. Yes this will include longsword. Learn to be a knight!
    Tuesday: English Renaissance staff. Learn how ineffective a knight's mail armour would be against this devastating weapon!
    Wednesday: Military sabre, cutlass, backsword and broadsword. Learn the fighting system used at Waterloo!
    Thursday: Victorian London Prize Fighting (ala bare knuckle boxing). While the fighting system of the lower brow of society it is still extremely scientific. It deserves its reputation as the sweet science (unlike its modern variant.)


Until I have my Martial Arts studio up and running training will unfortunately be outside and weather dependent. To offset this dilemma I'm charging the low cost of $2 a time.

190 Knights Road, Waterloo, Lower Hutt.
021 30 3388
Training starts at 6.30 pm and goes until the sun refuses to shine.

Well the first night wasn't too much of a success due to the weather, but for those that turned up anyway we did German ringen inside. A bit of fun.

It seems that the mood is to do unarmed material on crappy evenings.

Tonight (Tuesday) is staff. Lots of fun!

Pretty much. I'm reasonably flexible with what we do. If it's wet, we can still do stuff inside Smile

See you there,
