Looking to hone your  skills and spend a weekend of camaraderie with others
who love the sword  and the art of the Rapier?

We will again have William Wilson who will  be sharing his extensive 
knowledge
on Fabris and Capoferro’s cloak  techniques.  He will also look at Sword
and Buckler using techniques  by Marozzo. Christine Sapio has studied with 
Bill
Wilson for years and will  present a class on basic footwork as well as 
look at ways
to teach and make  drills interesting.

Not sure you have been playing long enough to jump  into advanced
classes?  

There will be a beginner’s class as  well as classes geared for both 
beginning
and more advanced swordsman/women  to attend.

Have a partner or other family who aren't sure about running  away to Vegas
for a weekend of sword classes?  

Art class(es)  to be announced shortly

New!
Sean
Clark of La Fratelanza  della Spada will be talking about  the Scottish 
Basket Hilted Broadsword  and use
of the targe shield as well as the dirk.  He will also be  giving a class 
on the German Dussack.  The dussack was designed to  represent various
short, single-edged weapons in a training environment.  

Know someone who fights armored?  Someone who might like to do  both? 
Encourage them to come!

Jarl Rorik will be teaching a class  on the Great Ax in SCA combat, Duke
Guillaume will be looking at German  longsword and pole axe techniques as
adaptable to SCA armored combat.   Bill
Wilson will also present a class on Sword and Buckler applicable to  SCA 
armored
combat as well as rapier. 

Looking to learn  Unarmored? 
Come join Duke Guillaume and
Duchess Felinah in an introto  Caid’s Unarmored program as well as advanced
longsword  techniques.

Repasts
and other Excitement!
Lunch will be served on  Saturday with two hours to absorb the lessons of 
the
morning classes,  refresh, get some pick ups in.  Sunday there will be a
donation lunch  available.

REVEL:  There will be an
evening of food and time to  visit and swap stories, songs and meet new 
friends
as well as time to  celebrate the life of Baron Aonarrach Faol
MagUidhir.  No  charge.
