More #ringenamschwert from last #class! Here @danlj closes in on Erin, releases the #sword from his left hand, inverts it and grabs Erin’s #hilt between her hands. He then wrenches her sword to his left, setting up a #pommel strike. #yyc #calgary #yycmartialarts #martialarts #medieval #fight #swordfight #wrestling #longsword #grappling #hema #fencing #training #knockouttheirteeth #chiclets #fistloadfromhell (at The Forge: Western Martial Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B84Wfo8HXpA/?igshid=ca97cbpg2fgc

#Tonght was our #AGM! To #reward those who dealt with all the administrative nonsense, we taught #ringenamschwert (#wrestling at the #sword)! Here @lexa.giguere closed in on @silkenkleer. Since the range is too close for bladework, Lexa steps in, hooks her pommel over Silken’s wrist, and applied a standing #armbar. Note how she used her forearm bone (one of the #ripperbones in catch wrestling), to straighten Silken’s arm. She then sunk in the armbar by pulling her sword grip to her hip, thereby trapping Silken’s wrist. She could turn this into a takedown or hyperextend the elbow by striking it repeatedly with her forearm. #yyc #calgary #yycmartialarts #martialarts #medieval #fight #swordfight #hema #fencing #longsword #grappling #fun #theforgewma #training (at The Forge: Western Martial Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B80PQlDnXZu/?igshid=1ey3njyn9illr
