Basically, its a Japanese Swordsmanship festival, where David Rowe and I were asked to do a longsword demo last year. We were very well recieved and were asked back this year. Additionally, Steve Reich of the Order of the Seven Hearts will be there doing some 16th c. Bolognese swordsmanship (really cool stuff) and Mike Edelson (one of Christian's students) of the New York branch of the Selohaar Fechtschule will be coming down to demo with a couple guys from his group. Plus there will be tons of Japanese demonstrations. Its in Alexandria, just barely outside of Old Town.

Sir Wolf:
y do things happen when i can't make them :(

Sir Edward:


I missed it last year. I'm going to try to see if I can come by.

Sir Edward:

Hey, that was a pretty good time. Some of those demos were very interesting, even if they're not specifically to my taste. Some were definitely very cool.

Watching some of the tatami cutting really convinced me that it's much easier than the swordfodder stuff. Especially at the end of the day with the impromptu test cutting out behind the building. Some of the beginners cut right through it.

Sir Wolf:
pics?
