Seminars

At the seminars we learn single short sword, double short sword, long sword and dagger/knife drills.
Take-downs, weapon strips, pressure points, joint locks, and sticky leg drills.
As you can see, that is a lot to cover. Usually we don't get to all of them in one day. We cover a few of them and get pretty indeapth, then will just touch on a few others to become familiar with them.

The way it works, is they will set a day, and we all meet at Hank and Bunny's. They are the gracious hosts. They have a great place a short distance from the faire. If the weather is bad, then we train indoors in one of Hanks many garages on the property. If it is nice, we train outside.
Everyone brings a dish for our lunch, and Turk usually brings chicken.
We start at 9:30 and train until 12:00 (with a couple short breaks in there)
Break for lunch from 12:00 - 1:30
Train again from 1:30 - 4:00. (again with a short break or two)
Classes are great for beginners or more advanced students. We never really cover the same stuff from one seminar to another. I brought a friend of mine, and 2 of his children to the 2nd one, and they had a blast and learned tons of stuff.
All this for only $20 per person.
What a sweet deal. A whole day of training and hanging out having fun!

If you want to know more, or see when the next one is, keep an eye on this thread on my faire board
