This is Part 2 of James Reilly's exploration into training HEMA from both an historical and modern approach.  In this class we will use 21st century sports science to develop a soup to nuts training program. Topics will include Mobility, Movement, Conditioning and Recovery (aerobic and alactic), Strength, and Power. We will focus on fencing specific movement patterns. But also touch on movement patterns for historical wrestling. You will walk away from this program with a comprehensive understanding of how to develop a training regimen aimed at peak performance, as well as generic template of a fencing / wrestling tournament training camp.

Reading is 163-177. We are working off of the Wiktenauer compilation, available here: https://hroarr.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2016/08/wiktenauer-Liechtenauer-long-and-short-sword-gloss-compilation-2016-1.pdf

Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/93465113836 Did you know there are physical scientists at the Library of Congress? The Preservation Research and Testing Division (PRTD) conducts research to assist in preservation activities at the Library be it for items on exhibit, helping collections be stable in storage, or answering questions curators and conservators have about collections. Join our own Kelli Stoneburner as she describes the research programs in PRTD and discusses several examples of the work PRTD has done with and for objects such as the Gutenberg Bible, 15th C German Block Books, and more.

Self coaching is hard, coaching a fellow fighter is harder.   Join us as we hear from Julie Olsen, lead instructor and board member of Athena School of Arms.  Julie has been experimenting with corner coaching dos and don'ts for the last few years and has been generous enough to create a lecture surrounding the topic.  Humans revert to adrenaline brain for various reasons, if we can communicate effectively with swords swinging around, we can communicate effectively when there is a paper jam or heated meeting discussion.
