Training HEMA from home.



Yesterday we had an intensive session of coaching and freeplay for our monthly women’s and under represented genders meet up. We even managed to enjoy the last few moments of summer sun before the downpours began.
DM for details about our next meet up in October.
We now have a WhatsApp Channel where you can stay up to date about all content and events.
Other topics I’ve been talking about this week:
⚡️Control in HEMA and the far reaching effects of heavy hits.
😞Not feeling guilty about missing class.
🥇 Knowing when you’re ready for competition.
⚔️ Why classes and sparring aren’t enough.
👍 How to develop good habits.
👎You have permission to hit eject.
🤔What I would do if I started be HEMA today.
Have a great week of training ahead! ⚔️
