Say hello to Sierra Hotz, our newest FrauFecht planning committee member and featured instructor! Sierra has a classical fencing background and is a member of Diamond Rose Academie d'Armes.

The class will focus on the expulsions as an action on the blade. The application will be presented in a few short, structured lessons that build to a longer final exercise. Students will learn to analyze when an expulsion, either as an action on its own or as a way to encourage a desired response, can safely be applied in relation to their own or their opponents' skillset.
