Hackfest 101 - it's dangerous to go alone (a primer)
In which we contemplate, train in, and practice (on a very, very basic level) the arts of defense with edged weapons based on the ancient european arts as taught by talhoffer, fiore, ringeck, liechtenauer, mayer, mair, etc.
This will include very basics of knives, daggers, bayonets, machete, axes, sword, shield, and spear. We will include basic techniques using force-on-force training with simulators, in addition to live weapons against the pell and soft targets.
What you need to bring:
any personal weapons with which you want to train
Work gloves
eye protection
empty plastic containers, such as 2-liter bottles, milk jugs, empty 5 quart oil jugs, antifreeze, etc, etc.
old news papers
large empty cardboard boxes
The more target materials we bring, the more fun we will have
