In this series we explore the use of deception within single handed and two handed cutting weapons in both wide and narrow play. We'll explore:

  • Feints both in the cut and thrust.
  • Deceptions of preparation and of line.
  • Mutation of action.
  • Invitation and false openings.
  • Deception through footwork, body, and blade.

Bring a sidesword or two-handed sword, bucklers, shields and secondaries are also welcome.
