ROOK (CURRENTLY SUSPENDED)
About
Rook, aka short for Rookie, is our youth classes (13 - 15 yrs old) that will be taught using Foam and Synthetics equipment.
We believe that a well-rounded program in the martial arts helps an individual build a strong mind and body connection. Our objective at Rook is to help youths discover the joy of fencing and to encourage them to physically exercise in ways that our modern lifestyle doesn't permit. At Rook, they will train agility through footwork, and upper body strength through wielding swords.
One of the system that we will cover is the Messer. The Messer was historically used in medieval Germany to teach youths and adults the basics of self-defence. It also taught them the types of movements that were needed for other systems like the longsword, spear, or sword and shield. Medieval fighting involved ringen (wrestling) as well, which was an essential skill for a knight to learn. This Rook classes is a great starting point in learning more about combat in medieval Germany.
Once a Rook has reached 16, and has trained for more than 6 months. They will be graded on content understanding and safety. If they pass, they will receive a certificate and can proceed directly to regular classes.
