By far the best action I’ve pulled off against my boy Derek and he *still* almost voided it #longsword #hema

Why don’t I simply thrust with opposition while the opponent is in the middle of an advance with his sword out of presence all the time? Am I stupid? #longsword #hema

Nick is one of the best fencers in the world and if you're looking to get better, his advice is invaluable

If you’re in the Boston area and have always wanted to stab me (there are many of you I’m sure), sign up for this!

I should really be wary of turning the back of my head but I liked this sequence a lot #longsword #hema

4️⃣ at Frogfecht’s open longsword tournament yesterday, while the bros Derek and Nick (represented here by Fechtbuch Fabian) got silver and bronze. This was, on balance, probably the best I’ve ever fenced. I’m exhausted and sore but in a way that makes me unbelievably satisfied. #longsword #hema
