Hello,
The International Swordfighting and Martial Arts Convention continues to
grow as we go into our 6th year of bringing together the finest instructors
from around the world. After making some exciting new additions, the web
site is up and can be found at
http://artofcombat.org/public/thespi...n/aocflyer.htm This year
will have all the wonderful opportunities that we have every year as well as
some new experiences for 2005, making it the workshop not to be missed. It
will be held in Lansing, Michigan as always on the first weekend of August
(5th-7th) 2005.
We will be offering over 40 classes during the three days. As you saw last
year, there will be 4 classes to choose from all weekend! There are two
blocks of regular classes running concurrently with a block of 3 hour master
classes and a block of 4 ½ hour Maestro classes. Check the website to see
how last year’s schedule was laid out. This will give you an idea of the
great variety of classes that will be offered.
PRIVATE LESSONS with the instructors will be offered again. These were
offered at ISMAC 2003 for the first time at any WMA workshop and they were a
huge success, so we are excited to continue offering this rare opportunity.
Just check out the website for more information!
Not only is there an amazing list of classes and instructors, but you will
have the chance to use your skills! We will have a rapier tournament on
Saturday night and a Singlestick Tournament on Sunday.
On Friday night you will have to choose between coached bout rapier fencing,
Longsword free fencing, or exercising your mind at the paper presentations.
There will be demonstrations and presentations during the lunch breaks
everyday. We will also have several discussion groups happening over the
weekend which will be very exciting. More will be on the website in the
months to come!
Come share in the fun of the infamous statues, try one of Lansing’s famous
pig sandwiches while learning tons about Western Martial Arts!
Sincerely,
Jared Kirby
