Greg showed and two new fellas, Mitchell and his son Chris. Started with Bowie. Looked at Military Saber briefly & discussed navaja material. Took a short intro to Military Saber (as much as possible inside a garage) and then moved into bowie. Did some basic cut patterns, then a thrust & parry drill.
Next Irish stick: Discussed living lineages and reconstructions and the difference between stick systems designed as a stick system and stick systems evolved from practice for swords. Intro-ed the strikes and blocks then did strike/block drills. Ended with 1/2 speed "sparring" just because it's fun.
