Hi!

as this goes out I’m on my way to Stansted airport to fly to Berlin for the Swords of the Renaissance event, where I’m teaching three classes: Improve your Rapier fencing; Lessons from the Abrazare; and a short “break-out session” on fencing with the rapier and dagger. Should be lots of fun! I’ve attended the last two of these events, and am really looking forward to this one.

Between the family trip to London and dashing off to Germany, I’ve been finishing up the video editing for the new Medieval Dagger course. It’s all done and dusted, and should be ready to launch next week, on both Teachable and Sword People. I’ve added video clips of all of Fiore’s dagger plays (really all of them- not just the 73 plays of the dagger in the Getty Ms, but sword against dagger, dagger and staff against spear, all of them). I’ve also re-edited the training course videos, splitting them up into much more user friendly short clips, so you can find exactly what you want very easily. During that process I also used the audio editing skills I had to learn for bringing The Sword Guy podcast up to scratch to re-master the audio on all the clips. The course is now over 120 videos, plus a bunch of pdf handouts.

The new course will launch with a 40% discount off the $400 price, with the option split the cost over 10 months, as usual. I’ll run the launch through Teachable, and include links in the course materials to access it on Sword People.

Here’s a really fun video of a dagger play from the course that involved throwing stuff at Jessica’s head:

If you’re already enrolled in the course you should have got an email already with a stupendous discount. If that hasn’t arrived, hit reply and I’ll send you the discount code.
