Another #actionshot from #BlizzardBrawl! Here @danlj (Silver Medalist) strikes at his opponent, who responds with a nice hanging #parry (Bogen in German). Following that is the exact same situation as depicted by #JoachimMeyer in his 1570 treatise. #yyc #calgary #yycmartialarts #martialarts #medieval #sword #fight #swordfight #hema #fencing #technique #dussack #saber #theforgewma (at The Forge: Western Martial Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8M5L2vniFa/?igshid=8f6u5m7r1836

@ashleymcoe (4th place) in a #dussack match at Saturday’s #BlizzardBrawl! He has incredible reach and accuracy. Here he is in Wrath Guard while his opponent is in Plow, followed by their depiction in Joachim Meyer’s 1570 treatise. #yyc #calgary #yycmartialarts #martialarts #medieval #sword #sword #fight #swordfight #hema #fencing #dussack #saber #tournament #theforgewma (at The Forge: Western Martial Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B71wIZbHlj9/?igshid=k00wvmycl4l3

Another nice #actionshot from yesterday’s #BlizzardBrawl! Here @boozeandleather and his opponent take the measure of each other using the Stier (Steer) guard, and a detail from Joachim Meyer’s 1570 manual depicting the same. Josh did me proud by claiming the Bronze Medal! #yyc #calgary #yycmartialarts #martialarts #medieval #sword #fight #swordfight #fencing #hema #dussack #tournament #saber (at The Forge: Western Martial Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7zrDWvHuLB/?igshid=14tqwkd0xnr0z
