Instructor

Description

Standup grappling offers us a variety of tools as violent storytellers.  This class will focus on the structure of standup grappling positions, the transitions we can use to move between them, and the striking options available when creating distance is no longer our primary safety.  

Historical Bolognese Swordplay for Stage

Open Rapier & Buckler

Instructors

Maldonado and Lubke

Description

As sources for Historic European Martial Arts continue to become available and more people become knowledgeable about these techniques, there is a desire to add more of these to stage combat.  In this class we will use the 16th century Bolognese system of Achille Marozzo, Antonio Manciolino, and Giovanni Dall’Agocchie as a case study in how to take a historic system and translate it to the stage.
