Greetings,<br><div class="im"><br></div> We will be hosting a Fighting <span><span class="il">Schola</span></span> at Carnegie Mellon, this <b>Wednesday, 6:30-8:30</b>. 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>This week, our local Knight Marshal, Shiro, will be teaching on Japanese Fighting styles. Shiro is another of my favorite teachers, and we'll be learning about katana fighting - a single edged, two handed sword. There will be good things to learn, even for the experienced fighter, so I hope you can join us!<br>
<br>For those not so martially inclined, we also have folks doing fiber arts concurrently with the fighting instruction.<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" target="_blank"> here.</a>
You can park for free on Frew street just after the library (now free) or at Phipps (its closed at that
time). <br>
