Instructors and workshops descriptions

 Hans Heim 

Disarming your opponent
With one hand, with the knife, without knife, with the knife and the left hand, with two hands on the knife, and so one…

Marek Tadeusz Helman

Meyer Dussack Stucke
From Bodymechanics and footwork to tactics and mindset. This workshop will be a practical approach on how to train crosscutting, provoker, taker and hitter, in Meyer dussack.

OskAr TeR Mors

Breaking the Siege
In this workshop we will be exploring the imagery of fortification that is often invoked in Lecküchner’s manuscript and use it to string together a whole set of varying techniques that will teach us how to bring the fight to our opponent by using the Langenort. This workshop is aimed at those who would like to practice some of the less well known parts of Lecküchner, but it will also appeal to sparring aficionados, as we will always make sure to explore how these techniques may serve us in a more dynamic situation.

Fabrice Cognot

How to build a messer
This lecture will simplet let you discover how the messers were built.

 

Mike Vieillard

Hips don’t lie
This workshop will base on body mechanics, frame and power generation. How to use your hips, your shoulders and save energy during a fight.

Émilien Sivry

Breaking the Guards
This workshop will be about reacting in front of the four different guards teached by Lecküchner. We will see how to unlock them, and how to make your opponent move. You will then be able to go on with further techniques.
