Broadsword combat classes with Toby Minor, November 18 - December 9

This is a four week workshop about learning how to wield a single-handed broadsword, the most commonly used weapon on stage in Shakespeare and classical pieces. It's designed for hacking and slicing. (Lord of the Rings movies, King Arthur, etc)

Each class will begin with a brief physical warm up. We will quickly move into sword strikes and parries, foot positioning and body form. No previous sword experience necessary, as this a basic level training course. The last class will culminate in a showcase performance of fight scenes for friends and family.

Dates: Sunday evenings from Nov 18, 25, Dec 2 and 9. Time: 5-7pm. Limit 10 students. By request we found a space way further south!! This space is 7031 E. Hwy 290. It's just east of I35 at Berkman, a blue building with a nice big secure parking lot.

Cost is $100. I take credit cards, checks and cash. Please sign up ahead of time by contacting Toby at: tobywon55@gmail.com or calling (512) 909-0254.
