Horse Sense and Full-Speed Heavy Combat Training

"There is something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a man." - Winston Churchill

Riding & Horsemanship this weekend still has room left!

In this series of workshops participants will cover the Horsemanship material needed to progress through the ranks of the Cavaliere Program.  Beginners will learn the simple care, handling and tacking-up of horses needed in order to ride, while more advanced students will study first aid, conditioning, conformation and good stable management practices.  Level 4 Horsemen will be capable of competently caring for a stable of horses.

Following the Horsemanship portion of the class there will be 30 minute guided riding sessions on our school horses.  Spaces for riding sessions are limited, and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Take your longsword combat to the next level by learning to bring your technical knowledge into full speed sword combat. Over the course of 4 hours, students will explore how to implement technique under duress, how to create an effective full speed training environment, and how to become effective when it counts.

Students of this workshop will be guided through:

- Full-speed and full intention training drills

- Strategy and tactics exercises designed to promote intuitive action

- Coached sparring and combative exercises

This workshop is combatively focused; medium to full combat gear will be required. Lesser combat gear will require lesser intensity in certain exercises. Consult with the instructor for information regarding what your protective gear will allow. Additionally bring a water bottle, note paper, and be prepared for a good workout.
