Coaching-workshop!
Den 22a oktober kl 14:00 kommer Axel Pettersson köra sin coaching workshop med oss i klubben. Perfekt inför Swordfish. Missa inte detta! Detta är alltså dagen efter workshopen I skarphuggning. Axel har hållit denna workshop många gånger utomlands och nedan följer den informationstext som han då använt:
"Coaching" Sparring and applying historical techniques under pressure against an uncooperative opponent is, together with research and drilling, a pillar of the revival of the historical European martial arts. In itself, it is also the most fun aspect of fencing, and is often treated as the real fight or the reward at the end of class where the students can have some fun. This is of course true, but sparring can and should be much more. Directed sparring with a clear focus and goals can help the fencer immensely in propelling his understanding of fencing and his ability to apply it. Sparring is also not only the opportunity of the people directly involved sword in hand, it is also great training for the onlookers to enhance their understanding of fencing by acting as coaches and judges, learning how to see and understand fencing actions, formulate fencing sequences in clear terms, how to spot patterns and how to correct them, and to develop the cooperation between the fencer and the coach. In this class we will use several variations of sparring in order to learn how to get the most out of our sparring time, and also how to gain something even when we are on the sideline, not letting any class time go to waste!
Utrustning: de som har ska ta på fullt sparring kit samt stålvapen. För de som saknar utrustning så har GHFS en del utrustning till långs. Man får då utnyttja låneutrustning och fäktas med nylon. Workshopen är utformad med långsvärd som utgångspunkt men alla vapen kan användas som funkar att använda mot en sparringpartner.
