Class Information
Our main classes are located in Panmure and Mount Wellington, though a couple of students maintain a study group in Glenfield
Swordsmanship classes begin with a sequence or form/technique drills designed to enforce good habits and reinforce sequence of motion, timing and structure.
These are then followed by opposed techniques drills as explore counters and application mechanics and principals.
Once our Learner have gained the fundamental skills requires these expand into flow drills and dynamic drilling along with assaults and test cutting.
Our "unarmed" arts classes "DDLR" and "grappling" include a larger focus on physical aptitude and strength building and include warm up circuits using medicine balls, a tractor tyre, kettlebells, barbell, horizontal bars and calisthenics exercises.
They progress basic form drills to learn fundamental techniques and mechanics before progress to flow drills and dynamic drilling.
In these arts the assault is initially practiced in gamified forms to allow learners to develop their competency under ever increasing levels of duress.

Seasonal Activities
Test cutting continues to occur once a month only held back or delayed by the weather, these sessions will be interrupted when we have preparation sessions on break falls for internal tournaments and the internal tournaments themselves.
The Summer Month also allow for the use of public spaces for larger weapons where we focus on poleweapons such as spear, staff and poleaxe etc.
We have recently reintroduced public displays and hope to do these dring each of the out of cycle months before a new term.
So that those interested in learning what knightly arts really looked like can witness our take on assaulting and can come along and give test cutting a got with live (sharp) weapons.
The aim here is also to expand beyond our present curriculum and look at different weapon arts and systems throughout the year to try and generate interest in w.m.a and h.e.m.a systems and to help our students become coaches and instructors themselves.
