Title: Chivalric Martial Arts International
Post by: swordteacher on 2012-02-28, 00:06:17
Gentlemen,

I would like to bring to your attention an event that is happening The second week of May 2012.

The Chivalric Martial Arts International is a symposium centered around the historical Tournaments and Deeds at arms of the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries.  We have instructors coming from around the world to teach, train and participate in the largest, and perhaps the only, modern Deed of Arms. Classes will include horsemanship, historical martial arts, jousting, and academic courses that discuss many of the aspects of chivalry in the middle ages and today.

There or no prerequisites to attend this event, But historical clothing and armor will be required for some of the tournaments over the weekend.

This event is a unique opportunity. There has never been an event designed to teach the Chivalric martial arts that has included horsemanship, and at a price that is less than a typical horsemanship clinic.

The URL is http://chivalricmartialartsinternational.com/ (http://chivalricmartialartsinternational.com/)

Please look it over and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

That does look like a blast. Especially being able to bring your own horse. I won't be able to get the time off, nor make the 1,000 mile trip, but it would be awesome if you post some pics here after the event is over. And welcome to the forums!

I'd be particularly interested in the fighting in harness instruction, that would be pretty cool. Would love to do the horsemanship stuff as well...

I don't think i have enough leave saved up either. But man, it looks like an awesome event. We need one of these over here in the mid-Atlantic area. :)

Indeed. I have some basic riding experience, but that's about it. Mounted combat would be great.

We do some harnessfechten at VAF from time to time, and there was a class at WMAW for that this past year as well. I'm glad to see it getting more attention these days.

Right.  Factor in the whole moving into a new home aspect, a wedding and two graduations coming down the pike and well...I'll be with them in spirit.
