INSTRUCTOR ANNOUNCEMENT!

CHRISTIAN BÜTTNER (He/Him)

Christian has been fencing for 8 years and dancing for almost 21 years. Since early lessons that showed overlap between these two sports he has been persuing this overlap and attempting to build the movement theory and pedagogy from various dance forms into fencing. At MKdF he now teaches longsword fundamentals, military saber, and montante which have all benefited from dance-related work. As a man who does not fit the average size and physicality of HEMA fencers he is also dedicated to making his classes adaptable and useful to folks of all sizes and abilities.
etting to the Point - Setting up Thrusts with F.C. Christmann

While thrusts are an element in all saber systems they are a particular focus in F.C. Christmann. From the guards to the parries to the footwork there is an intention of working with a thrust.

In this class we will examine the necessary biomechanics to thrust safely and effectively and will look at the techniques that are used to set up a thrust both acting with initiative and in response.
