| I don't mind emailing certain interested parties, but only on the proviso that it goes no further. |

I ran a Fiore dei Liberi dagger workshop at NAAMA in 2003, having returned to NZ from the UK shortly before that. Dayna and I had done from Fiore training with Rob Lovett while living in London. The reaction was good and I think people enjoyed the class. Colin has run several workshops in WMA at various NAAMAs which have also been good value.
One of the difficulties in running these things is trying to instill in people an idea of the basic techniques (which like any skill require both repartition, adjustment, and more repartition), while also trying to show more involved material to develop the interest of the participants. Its not easy to get the balance right.
NAAMAs and the like are often a good way to get introduced to the WMA scene, but if you want to see or learn more, then http://www.swordsmanship.co.nz/forums/ is a good place to seek out interested individuals and groups, or you could post here in the WMA section and maybe get some interest going! At some stage I'd be keen to run another workshop, but not until I've made some convincing improvements in my own knowledge and practice of the art.
Hope this post was pontificatory to satisfy; still don't consider myself an ecclesiastic though..  |
i was it one of thes and it was fun and Phil you shod do mor of it |

Maybe once I finish university and Dayna and I have the new baby situation under control. For those people living in Wellington, Callum is running Fiore classes every weekend. I'd recommend giving those a go if you enjoyed the workshop.
