Ayreton Carnival II Combat Classes

	Ayreton Carnival II Combat Classes

Here is the current combat class schedule for the Ayreton Carnival. If you have any questions, please contact the class coordinator, Jale bint Amar.

9:30 - 10:00 Warm Up Nadezda ZeZastrizl Stretch out before you get onto the field! Led by one of our local certified yoga instructors, you will feel nice limber before attacking your opponents, but still have all the energy required.

11:00 - 12:00 Initiative in Rapier Combat: Use it or Lose it! Michael Ashley and AElfred of Chester This class will be sixty minutes long, and participants will require hands-on drills. Observers are welcome and do not require any equipment. In this class we will examine the concept of Initiative from a Historical Combat perspective and discuss how these concepts can be used in SCA martial activities, with an emphasis on light weapons/rapier combat.

1:00 - 2:00 How to Teach/Learn Rapier Fencing When You Don't Have the Gear AElfred of Chester and Michael Ashley Many SCA folks have an interest in finding out more about the use of the rapier but don't want to invest in the gear to do so. This class will teach some of the basic principles of the art without using any gear.

2:00 - 4:00 Medieval German Mounted Combat Patrick von Brandenburg Lecture, demonstration, and experience in the mounted combat elements of the Lichtenauer school of German combat. The class will cover the lance, sword, and mounted wrestling techniques of this system, based principally on the manuscript of Sigmund Ringeck (c.1440). Ability to experience the techniques will depend to some extent on the number of participants in the class.

3:00 - 4:00 Medieval Dagger AElfred of Chester and Michael Ashley In both the Italian and German medieval martial arts techniques were taught to defend against the dagger. This class will introduce several of these techniques to the participants. You will need to provide a fencing mask or rigid lenses safety glasses.

4:30 - 5:00 Cool Down Nadezda ZeZastrizl Cool down at the end of the day! After martial actives end, more stretching and cool downs to make tomorrow much more pleasant.
