The morning starts off at 9:00 sharp with a relaxed and meditative 25 minutes of The Forgotten Quarterstaff class with Jack Sullivan. 9:30 The Martial Longsword class begins with Codi and Adam. Two of the most dedicated practitioners of the sword and its use. Each instructor is the polar opposite of the other and the tandem makes for the most productive sessions you can find in my opinion. 11:00 am. is Free Time to work on what you want with who you want. warm down at 11;30, gear down at 11:45 . the day ends at noon. The Philosophical Hour continues at Sherbrooke pub with wings and a pint and discussion of video, philosophy tactics, etc. We would love to have you out, just let me know if you are coming please.
