Longsword
Center for Blade Art’s community includes students with a range of gender identities and expressions.
This Thursday night longsword class is available to all students who self-identify as women, non-binary or any other underrepresented gender (WURG). Really, any!
Them Fatale is co-coached by Allison and Cecelia, and the curriculum aligns with all other longsword classes. We are a small group class, which provides plenty of opportunities to work through material and build community.
Them Fatale is a mixed-level class. There is no extra cost or registration to attend - Beginners are welcome after attending the Saturday onboarding class.
Our Longsword curriculum is divided into level - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. All classes take place on the CBA fencing floor, though each group level typically split off and work with different coaches.
Club newcomers, previous experience aside, attend Beginner-level classes until co Beginner Longsword test, which covers system basics.
Upon test completion, students may attend the Intermediate level classes, which require a HEMA jacket.
Skill Level: Classes for all levels available, details on schedule
Minimum Gear Required: Fencing Mask, Longsword-Appropriate Gloves (loaners available for complete beginners)
