The next weekend sword session:  Date & Time: Sunday 28th April, 2-4pm St Peter’s Centre, Mansfield, NG18 1AP

We’ll be spending some time with the Chen family sword form, including warm ups, principles of the different movements, 2 person exercises and probably a few applications to increase your understanding of the movements.

If the weather’s good we might do some bottle chopping at the end (bring 2L coke bottles or similar if you have any) for anyone who’s keen, and depending on who comes, we can do some practical swordwork too, heading toward light sparring for anyone interested – let me know if you’d like to do some of this too as I know it’s not what everyone comes for.

Doesn’t matter whether you know the form really well, are a complete beginner, or somewhere in between – I’ll tailor the session to include something for everyone who comes, and with 2 hours to play with – a fair bit of tea as well.
