Something a little different today after the standard warm up and competency technique, this time a quick revision of napping after one went down very well at Chedworth last weekend.

Thr group was broken into four attackers and one defender. Then using the stage combat methodologies already well known among the members we defended against a series of attacks as the defender walked through the middle of the group, then repeated the walk with a counter attack. After this was done a series of exercises took us through from staticly defending against a series of known attacks through to a semi free moving defence and counter attack against the four opponents. A selection of weapons mixed things up with mortair, rapiers and hand and a half swords all being used at the same time.

The object of the exercise was to help members as they script fights; making them seem to move more naturally and ebb and flow with a little more grace.

All in all the exercises achieved their goals and we all went to McDonalds on a high afterwards.
