Here is a almost too late heads up on a 2 day class on how to fight with the English Backsword in the school of Silver.
The Knights of Arador Swordplay Academy is pleased to bring out Nathan Barnett of Academia della Spada for a weekend of work with George Silver's backsword.
The class will be held in Moses Lake, WA on Nov 12th-13th, here is the link.

I had the pleasure of meeting Nathan last Feb, and he is a delight to work with.
The Academia della Spada just hosted Stephen Hand of The Stoccata School of Defence for a Silver workshop.
If you have never seen a swordman trained in Silver bout, you really just don't know what you are missing out on.
I watched Paul Wagner (also of the Stoccata School of Defence) eat one of the best swordsmen in my group alive when he used an Italian school to Paul's Silver this last June when Paul came to Anchorage.
If you have a chance to go, do so!
Cheers,
DT
