| Description: | Have you ever wondered what it is like to wield the knightly longsword or the musketeer's deadly rapier? At the Higgins Academy of the Sword you will receive expert instruction in your choice of rapier, longsword, and/or dueling sabre, as well as classical forms of modern fencing weapons. Classes offer a safe, progressive system of instruction, building overall fitness and coordination as you learn living swordplay traditions handed down from the days when a person's life might depend on their skill with a blade. Our ongoing series of sessions is taught by internationally recognized swordsman and fencing historian Ken Mondschein: we invite you to join a growing community of men and women exploring the art, science, and spirit of the sword. The July session will take place Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8, starting July 7 and ending July 30. Class is open to age 16 and up. Pre-registration is required. Contact Rhonda Houle at (508) 853-6015, ext 20, or higgins@higgins.org for more information. |
