Join us for our first special ShortCourse of the year – in the much-misunderstood Messer! A German term for “knife”, in HEMA it refers to a cut-and-thrust one-handed sword with a clipped point. We’ll be primarily working from Lecküchner, and this course will cover the core elements of the system.

Week 1: the four Guards

Week 2: Complex Strikes

Week 3: Grappling

Week 4: Vor, Indes, Nach

This course is open to any regular attendees and members of LHFC.
