  • Really enjoyed the practice this morning - sorry I had to leave so early, but Beer can't wait.
    It turns out that my husband was also quite interested in this form of martial art - so, see you in 2 weeks!

  • Ben, I was referred to you by John Clements. I am in need of intensive training as I'm fighting in France in April and am just beginning. I am in Greensboro and would be interested in commissioning private lessons as well as anything else you might suggest. Many thanks, Crispin

  • Hello Ben, thanks for writing. Yes, I am interested. I signed up for the beginners sword at 11am at Shelley Lake. I plan to be there. I'm getting out of a class to come, so I'm hoping it's a definite go!

    BEN WROTE:
    Welcome! Thanks for your interest in the Triangle Sword Guild. Our training sessions are a combination of fitness routines, sword drills, sparring, and textual research. Drop us a line if you're interested in getting started.

  • Hi Ben, great to hear from you! I'm committed most Thursdays (to our rapier practice) but will definitely try to make it to a few of the Fabris sessions. Also, I can't make this Saturday, but am absolutely interested in German longsword (the Liechtenauer tradition being founded on it and all). I'm also sorry to have missed the quarterstaff classes. My loss.

  • Hi Ben. I am very excited to be able to learn from your class this weekend! I am a practitioner of Stav, and from what I understand, the basis for a lot of the swordwork in Stav is german longsword. Looking for some insight to further my studies!

  • Hi Ben. Welcome to the group. We look forward to seeing you in training, or at one of our events. Please feel free to e-mail if you have any questions. We train Mondays and Wednesdays @ Revolution Self Defense studio in Clayton, and Sundays 2-4pm at the Quest Centre in Chapel Hill. If you REALLY want to dip a toe, there's a seminar this weekend in Charlotte with two true masters of Systema - Vladimir Vasiliev and Konstantin Komarov. There are 9 of us going, if you want to tag along.
