JSachers„The Sword – Form and Thought“ was the name of an exhibition held at the Deutsches Klingenmuseum (German Blade Museum) in Solingen from 26th September 2015 until 28th February 2016, and is also the title of the accompanying catalogue.
Wise words on teaching in #HEMA:

Looks like Sean wrote an excellent article on training speed in #HEMA [that I somehow missed until now].
Gotta love that series on Sword STEM.
Sean Franklin“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”
This adage is used to illustrate the fact that speed is gained through efficient movements, rather than just trying to use as much force as possible. And in a lot of ways it is true.
Most of the increases in speed we realize are not from an increase in the ra…

Ich stecke meine Nase regelmäßig in alle der oben erwähnten Bereiche und kann daher nur den Kopf über dieses veraltete Weltbild schütteln. Leider gibt es diese Vorstellungen noch immer. So wurde z.B. einer guten Bekannten aus Italien letztes Jahr bei einer Vorführung Punkte abgezogen, da sie „in Männerkleidern“ auftrat. Es bleibt also noch viel zu tun.

I survived a sword weekend. We trained for two days: longsword, dussack and dagger. That was a great experience with a group that was really eager to learn. Learned some new tricks and lost probably 3kg just through sweating 😉
