Dear Friends,

"Der Fechtsaal - Gemeinschaft Historischer Fechter" is proud to invite you to our sevens all day seminar on Saturday, 03rd of December in Krefeld, Germany. It took a bit longer this year, but good things sometimes need their time.

„Makes the school a difference?“

This question we would like to investigate in depth this time. We will have to blocks focusing on the Langes Schwert and the Military Sabre. For each weapon we will have an introduction in two schools – each participant will have the chance to get to know the techniques of one school with one weapon only. Target will it be to get an introduction to the system and deepen the knowledge to a solid baseline. Please use the chance to get a feeling for a new weapon / style as we will stick to basic techniques. We will conclude these workshops with first practical exercises of fencing against another school.

We are proud to present the following trainers:

Langes Schwert, Italian School - Bastian Busch, Schwerkampf Osnabrück
Langes Schwert, German School - Heiko Meckbach, Schwertkampf Nordhessen

Militär Säbel, English School - Gerhard Gohr, Der Fechtsaal
Militär Säbel, German School - Marcus Hampel, Hammaborg

Following the workshops we will have a Fechtschule - a Tournament / moderated duel – in which we will be able to test the strength and weaknesses of the different schools against each other. We will follow the Tournament rules, used at this year’s HALAG in Hamburg. It was well received by the participants and trainers like Anton Kohutoviè and Roland Warzecha. It works well for trained fencers as well as beginners.

Tobias "Toke" Wenzel, Hammaborg will lead through the tournament. His long experience in free fighting will help to get a good introduction into the rules and get a good feeling what it means to fight against someone coming from different fencing school.

We will enjoy the rest of the day in a nearby venue to give room for socialising, chatting and heavy talking shop.

For Seminar in a professional fencing hall including soft drinks and food we will charge EURO 20,-/person when registering till 15.11.2011 afterwards EURO 25,-/person. Bank details will be provided in separate eMail.
