Who should attend?: Anyone with a base level of knowledge of Fiore or Lichtenauer’s art. This will not be an introductory class so participants should have at least taken the NESG intro class or something similar through OKDF or OMACA. This will be a fast moving class discussing higher level tactics and tricks so if you haven’t taken one of our intro classes you’ll likely get lost quick.
What do I need?: As much sparring gear as you have. There will be some loaner equipment on a first come first serve basis starting with paid NESG membership. The intent is that we are going to be geared up for most of the day. Minimum of gambeson, gorget, and mask. Recommendation for full sparring gear including rigid hand protection. Additionally, rondel dagger simlulators and belts are recommended. WATER! Hydration will be important.
How much?: Cost for the day will be $50 which includes lunch. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY FOOD ISSUES
