Step with Purpose: Footwork for Tournament Heralds

Tournament heralds do more than enforce rules, they set the tone for a smooth, fair, and efficient fight. But what many people miss is that a huge part of good heralding isn’t just what you say… it’s how you move.

This class focuses on the physical side of the role: the movement, spacing, and non-verbal communication that allow a team of heralds to work together seamlessly.

We’ll cover:
-How to position yourself to keep eyes on both fighters without obstructing the field
-Movement patterns and body cues used by experienced herald teams
-Strategies for staying mobile while maintaining a calm, neutral presence
-Signals and side-stepping habits that help you communicate clearly with your partner (without disrupting the flow of the match)
-Common mistakes that make heralding harder and how to avoid them.

Whether you're looking to become a more confident tournament herald or just want to understand the invisible choreography that keeps the action running smoothly, this class is a great place to start.
