Jersey Village High School
Sword Workshop 2011
 On
March 19, 2011 the ARMA North Siders were invited
back for the 6th year to do a beginning sword workshop for
future fight choreographers. ARMA Representatives included
Kyle Cook, Stacy Clifford, Austin Fontaine, John Schmidt and
Elizabeth Bernhardt.
The workshop began with a short lecture and ARMA members
demonstrating the proper uses of the Guards and Cuts in Free
Play Sparring before splitting the class into two groups.
Kyle's group were shown Basic Foot Work, Primary Guards, and
Basic Cuts for longsword. Stacy took the second group and
showed Single Sword Guards, Cuts and Footwork. Both groups
were also shown some cut/counter cut drills. The afternoon
concluded with students demonstrating what they had learned.
Pairing up into groups of two or four, the students demonstrated
choreographs of their own short fight scenes. The day ended
with a group picture.
