Greetings to those interested in heavy weapons fighting in the Society for Creative Anachronism.<br><br> We will be hosting a Fighting Schola at Carnegie Mellon, every other <b>Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30,</b> starting this coming Wednesday. I would like to invite anyone interested in learning more about the basics of fighting to join us (students will have priority in borrowing loaner armor). Much of the class will be unarmored, so feel free to come to learn more, even if you are hesitant to hop into armor. Experienced fighters, I would like to invite you to join us to teach and spar with newcomers (bring armor, and extra weapons).<br>
<br>We have some excellent teachers lined up! <br>Here is the tentative schedule. <br>9/14 Intro to the SCA, armor, and SCA fighting - Hilda and Cynewyn<br>9/28 Basics of attack and defense - His Highness Sir Isenwulf<br>
10/12 Japanese fighting styles - Shiro<br>10/26 Spear fighting in singles and melee - Bors<br>11/9 Melee tactics and shieldwork <br><br>Location and Directions:<br>We will be meeting outside at Carnegie Mellon University, between Baker and Doherty halls,<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=40.441795,-79.94411&hl=en&sll=40.441607,-79.943696&sspn=0.00207,0.005284&vpsrc=0&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=18&t=m&z=18"> here.</a> You can park on Frew street just after the library ($3 to feed the meter and not risk a ticket) or at Phipps for free (its closed at that time). <br>
