[SCA-BMDL] CMU Fighting Schola, Wed 6:30-8:30

[Amy C]

Greetings,

  We will be hosting a Fighting Schola at Carnegie Mellon, this *Wednesday,
6:30-8:30*.  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).

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!

For those not so martially inclined, we also have folks doing fiber arts
concurrently with the fighting instruction.

Location and Directions:
We will be meeting outside at Carnegie Mellon University, between Baker and
Doherty halls, here.<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>
You can park for free on Frew street just after the library (now free) or at
Phipps (its closed at that time).

Here is the tentative schedule for future weeks.

10/26   Spear fighting in singles and melee  - Lord Bors

Please feel free to contact me with questions, or to find us.  Cynewyn (Amy)
