[Tir-Medoin] Knight School

[Sir Giotto di Giovanni]

Come out for Knight School once again to be held at Bryn Gwlad's
fighter practice.
Tuesday, May 18th at 7:30 p.m.

This time the assembled knights will be stressing styles fought
without shields.  So gather up your great swords, glaives, spears,
single and two swords and come learn from some of the best fighters in
the world.

This format has garnered attention from around the Known World for its
success and the fun had by fighters, knights and observers.

Here's how it goes:

Each knight, depending on the thrust of their teaching for the
evening, will either call upon the student to match the knight's
chosen style, match the style the student has brought to the field or
instruct on one style versus the other.

All available knights will take the field.  Each knight should invite
a page to help them throughout the evening.

Pages should expect to help the knight with equipment and water.  They
will also take notes for each fighter.

Fighters will face off against the knights.  Fighters without a knight
to fight will form lines in front of each knight.  Every five minutes,
a timekeeper will announce time and fighters will move to the end of
the line of the next knight.

The fighter fighting the last knight in the line will move to the end
of the line of the first knight.

The fighters will be given a notebook to present to each knight's
page.  At the end of two minutes, the page will write the knight's
comments to the fighter in the notebook.

The knights will hold the field until everyone who is able has been
given a chance to fight them all.

NEW! - At the end of the training session the knights will called on
to give a five minute talk on an aspect of fighting or knighthood.
