LAD Historical Fencing

Happy Valentine's Day!!

New link provided in the comments :)

So, we sponsored a YouTube video for them to tell about some historical duel, so they can tell people about our awesome hobby. Anyone who found us because of the video, hello! Welcome!

Announcement! We are starting a new round of intro and beginner classes in Reading, PA at L.A.D. Historical Fencing. The intro class is on 6/22 @6:30pm and is 100% free! There is no special equipment needed to participate. Come play with swords! Email [email protected] to register and for the location.

A couple of commissioned pieces for dagger hell workshops. You should check out some of the other things Thistle Dew Leather makes! Support our local artisans!

Messer-Folk, here's a reminder that we will be having our second to last class for the Intro to Messerfechten course this Saturday (March 7th) from 1:30PM to 3:30PM. This class is the promised "Fun and goofy" one where we will explore some of the more eccentric plays in Lecküchner's work. See you then!

Have no fear, messer class is still here! This is a reminder that class is still on for Saturday, January 25th from 1:30-3:30PM! We are nearing the end, bit by bit. I do hope to have something I can give you all for your completion, more on that later. Here's the link to the previous class slides that I again forgot to post https://drive.google.com//1bcpGTTUdGWTskmn-rIpp8r-Gj/view

Messer maniacs: Here's the link to the slides from the last lesson. Remember, we did not finish the Entrüsthau section. We'll be picking up where we left off after some machete game warm-ups (I promise to bring music this time!) Reminder: The next class is scheduled for 1/11/2020, 1:30-3:30PM

Happy new year! Don't be sad (like Franz down below), the next Intro to Messerfechten class will be held on January 11th from 1:30PM to 3:30PM! I'll be working on getting you the slides from the last session we had before the holidays later today. Thanks for showing up and I look forward to a messy 2020 with you all! (If you haven't attended any of the classes yet but want to drop in and see what this wonderful weapon has to offer, feel free to join in!) ... -Gabe See more

Hello folks! Below is a link to the PDF of the slides used in the recent messer class, as promised. Reminder: the next Into to Messerfechten class will be held on 12/21 from 1:30PM to 3:30PM, I hope to see you there! Link: https://drive.google.com//1D1BA7JWQnJyw3d7h-xTcXT26M/view
