A huge thank you to Annie for taking the Smallsword and Girard Thibault class this evening. #verdaderadestreza #learnswordfighting #community #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

“David, the mild mannered janitor?” “Could be!” For those of an age.😊 #hema #learnswordfighting #kungfu #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

Attacks and counters in the straight line. Fantastic work from the Longsword and sword in one hand fundamentals classes! #hema #learnswordfighting #community #londonlongswordacademy #davidrawlings

From a private lesson with @w.j.ones Re working Achille Marozzo; with some wonderful new permutations I’ve been working on. Then spear from Paulus Hector Mair. Bruce the cat obviously giving excellent feedback. #hema #learnswordfighting #davidrawlings #polearms #londonlongswordacademy

Wonderful to have guests and wonderful people to settle them in☺️ Pacheco, Rada, Viedma in the Verdadera Destreza class. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

This was pretty awesome, the weather starting to cool made it so pleasant to be outside booping in a bookish martial manner. Staff work from Paulus Hector Mair in the Crystal Palace class. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #quaterstaff #londonlongswordacademy

The Smallsword class. Good drilling and loads of freeplay tonight. Needed☺️❤️⚔️ #hema #community #learnswordfighting #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

We were mid melee tonight when a car came past only a little bit on fire. It added…ambience. From the Crystal Palace longsword class #hema #learnswordfighting #community #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

Nothing but freeplay in the sword and buckler class tonight. Sabres, arming swords, side swords and messers, all with bucklers. Wonderful. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

The Bethnal Green and Hoxton Longsword class. More Fiore dei Liberi, helping me prep for the Sword Camp too. Lots of stepping on swords, grips and counter grips, as well as the exchange of points and other exercises. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #londonlongswordacademy #davidrawlings

Lots of fun working this play from Paulus Hector Mair out, and the nuances of getting it right came surprisingly quickly. Great fun in the polearms and unusual weapons class at Sword Saturday. #hema #learnswordfighting #halberd #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

That’s the Longsword class, the verdadera destreza lot we’re awesome too, took each lesson in quickly, then rolled with intelligence and joy. Pretty ace I reckon. #hema #community #learnswordfighting #londonlongswordacademy #davidrawlings

It’s a wonderful thing, to see people who are humble in their perception of their understanding, explain with calm, kind clarity to new folk. I stood on the stairs and watched these wonderful people over the whole lesson. And they were great.

Staff from Joachim Meyer and Paulus Hector Mair in the Crystal Palace class. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #londonlongswordacademy #quarterstaff

Simple joys. Fencing in the system of Girard Thibault for the full session. Constant and intense without losing control. Lovely work. #gerardthibault #verdaderadestreza #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy

Working Joachim Meyer in the Crystal Palace Longsword class. Then lots of freeplay with some excellent fun combat games thrown in. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #londonlongswordacademy #davidrawlings

Impressive work from the fundamentals classes, several people in their first class puling of giratas and doing excellent work with the thwart. elements of verdadera and vulgar Destreza, all coming together perfectly. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #londonlongswordacademy #davidrawlings

Sword and Rotella from Godinho, in the Verdadera Destreza class (yes we went vulgar, you aren’t my real dad!). #hema #learnswordfighting #community #londonlongswordacademy #davidrawlings

I love people fighting in pleasing lighting. From the Sword Saturday Longsword class. #hema #learnswordfighting #community #davidrawlings #londonlongswordacademy
