DESCRIPTION:
Format: Activity Class Gear: Arming Sword, Buckler, Gloves, Head & Face Protection Description: The concepts of time & measure are fundamental to any martial system, and yet they are often not discussed or presented to the student in the depth required. Royal Armouries MS I.33 gives a framework for understanding and practicing the crucial elements of time & measure. We will first examine techniques within a mechanical drill framework and analyze them for what they say to us about time & measure. Following this we will bring the drills into a tactical framework, using a simple decision-tree exercise to analyze the partner’s offensive, defensive or counter-offensive choice, and immediately decide on a course of action. Time will not permit in-class bouting, but the tactical exercises themselves will be quite demanding, so bring a towel to wipe off the sweat and a water bottle for rehydration. |
