If you really do want to get better...

Post by Felix »

As the title says, "if you really want to get better." Find out when and were Duke Sean is teaching his system to train and go to that class or get a group of guys together and pay to have him fly out to your group. It will be the best money you have ever spent. I do not care how good you think you are or how well you fight, this man has a great deal to teach. His class gave me a vocabulary that I can use on a regular basis with the people we train. Also his system compressed how I look at a fight and allowed me to think and execute in a vary organized fashion. In essence it allowed me to think and react faster. Good luck gents I hope you get as much from him as I did. He gets beer for life in my camp! :D

There is a series of videos (lots actually) of various classes that have been put on. Some are Duke Sean, some are others.

How much does the mighty Duke charge for a weekend class?

What kind of beer? And How Long is his class he gives? A Day? Two?

And as Kormak said, contact info?
The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying.

We're going to hold on to him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass, We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose.

Thank to Balin for letting me know. And to Felix for the kind words.

I am more than willing to share what information I have with those who are interested in hearing it. I have always believed that if someone is willing to make it so that it doesn't cost me anything to teach, as a Knight I am obligated to do so.

I'm not in this for profit. At the same time, I'm not independently wealthy enough to teach as much as I would like to.

You can I/M me here if you're interested in having me come teach.

Likewise, there are several other excellent trainers who I know are willing to do the same. Chiefly among those I would recommend the following:

Duke Brannos
Duke Lucan
Duke Paul
Vsc. Sagan

There are others. These are among the best. I am humbled to be mentioned in their company.

The one I attended in Las Vegas was two days. One of the things I found very useful was watching the video later that night in slow mo and having Duke Sean explain what we were seeing. I can now analyze video footage better then before the class.

I would definitely take the class again.
What the SCA needs is less Armour Archive, and more Monty Python.

@Rey and any others that may lurk here...you guys in Memphis were awsome. I had so much fun and have been running my mouth non stop to get a bunch of people to road trip down again. I look forward to seeing you soon! Thinking about getting Sean to come to Indy for a class but I have to check his schedule. Thanks for the well wishes.

Your Grace, if everything aligns and HG Sean is able to get to Indy, please let me know, as I would like to attend!

Or Grand Rapids! yeah, Grand Rapids! :wink:
