Sunday Morning Longsword Class!

About this event

**Sundays, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM** **Open Floor: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM** **Instructors: John Knoch & Will Oaksmith** Join Crossroads Swords for a recurring German longsword class focused on historical European martial arts from the medieval period. We draw from early German sources such as Ringeck, Danzig, and Lew, as well as later sources like Meyer, combining historical interpretation with modern application and training methodology. This class is beginner friendly, with the first hour dedicated to fundamentals and core mechanics before progressing into broader applications and partnered drills. The material is widely applicable to many historical and fictional two-handed weapons systems. **Recommended Gear:** Comfortable athletic clothing and shoes, athletic groin protection, and any fencing gear you may already own. **How to Join:** Your first two class days are free.
