In Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), longsword techniques are not limited to unarmoured combat (Blossfechten); there is also a rich tradition of armoured combat (Harnischfechten). Masters such as Johannes Liechtenauer , judicial duel specialist Hans Talhoffer, and later period master Paulus Hector Mair all left behind invaluable materials on armoured combat.
For this workshop, we are excited to invite Jay Noyes from the Castle Tintagel Knight School in Japan to teach the fundamentals of using the longsword and dagger in armoured combat.
