Nordschlag 2023 Workshop
8 October, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
This year’s workshop will include two instructors. Our visiting instructor will be Miles Kinnee.
Miles Kinnee is the Founder of Maritime Sword School and is the Head Instructor at the Moncton branch of the three club organization.
In his 8th year as an instructor Miles is deeply passionate about the material and takes great joy in teaching and seeing the different styles resurrected in the glorious, joyous movement of practitioners everywhere.
He focuses on developing accessible, inclusive programs that have more in common with modern mainstream martial arts gyms than traditional martial arts clubs and generally encourages a free-play focused rank free approach to training.
While primarily a Kundst de Fetchen practitioner, Miles is going to share wisdom from Roworth’s Art of Defence of Foot with the Highland Broadsword and Military Sabre. This manual, published in 1798, is a critical part of every new fencer’s journey in his club. When you read the glosses, there is so much missing information, so little instruction on fundamentals which this manual covers, creating a bridge between Medieval, Renaissance, Napoleonic, Victorian and even modern swordplay. Miles strongly believes it is must learn material for all Historical Fencers and learning it creates associations that apply to all swordplay from any era.
Join us on Sunday, October 9th for four hours of fantastic, core fencing that will have something of value for brand new fencers, intermediate and even us salty old veterans!
Our other instructor will be Reme Rudyk, assisted by Samuel Fedoruk, teaching an additinoal two hours on rapier fighting. Both Reme and Sam have their rapier instructor certification from Academie Duello. This workshop is aimed at beginning and intermediate rapier students, learning from the Italian perspective.
Attend the full day for six hours of instruction with lots of fun and learning from some fantastic instructors! Register here.
