The 7th Sword School Seminar

My daughter and I attended this seventh seminar on 4/17/05 held at Hank and Bunnie's.

This one was very cool.
We learned a few new stick drills, plus some variations on some old ones, then did a lot of work on weapon strips.
The weather was beautiful!
The food was great.
The company was even better. Also most everyone spent the night at Hank and Bunnie's the night before, so things were very interesting.


   
We spent a lot of time on weapon strips. (if I remember correctly we learned like 8 of them.)
This series shows Master Turk demonstrating one of the techniques and why you want to clear one opponent as fast and effeciently as possible, because a second one might be coming right behind him.
Of course, Wolfe doesn't look very threatening in the background [rolleyes]
 
Here is Master Turk demonstrating another type of weapon strip with Jenna.
 

   
This last section is all of us sitting around and listening to
the teachings of Master Turk.
He explained a few more things. Talked about things he
had hoped we would get to (he always thinks we are
going to get farther than we do. Better to be too
prepaired than not be prepaired enough I guess).
He also talked about some of his plans for
future seminars and also for the faire this season.

If you notice, Vickie (aka Olive the Ox Lady)
put in an appearance towards the end of class.
