BREAK THE SHIELD: ATTACKING THE “SAFE” SIDE (FREE CLASS)

### BREAK THE SHIELD: ATTACKING THE “SAFE” SIDE (FREE CLASS)

Think your opponent’s shield side is off-limits? Think again. In this FREE class, we’ll teach you how to crack open even the most solid defenses and land clean shots where your opponent thinks they’re safest.
Whether you're up against a towering tower shield or a quick-moving punch shield, this class will show you how to turn their strongest defense into a hidden vulnerability—no matter what you’re fighting with.

### What You’ll Learn:

🛡️ Understanding Shield Dynamics – Learn how shield users move, block, and unintentionally create openings.
⚔️ Targeting the Shield Side – Explore angles, techniques, and strike types that bypass shield coverage.
🎯 Weapon-Specific Approaches – See how different weapon styles—from single sword and sword & board to polearms—can each be used to attack the shield side effectively.
🔁 Disrupting & Manipulating Guards – Use footwork, feints, and pressure to expose weaknesses in even the toughest guards.
🤺 Live Drills & Combat Applications – Practice with partners and see how these techniques apply in real-time combat.

This class is ideal for fighters looking to outsmart shield users and add new tools to their offensive toolkit.
