I am Maître Linda Wyatt. My Fencing Master, Maître Adam Adrian Crown, has 40+ years’ experience as a Fencing Master, and is also a 5th Degree Black Belt (Godan) in Chinese Goju Karate. This channel shares our dedication to fencing as a martial art, or, if you will, martial arts, from the viewpoint of the sword. The videos cover everything from specific technique, to philosophical discussions, to our teaching methods, and much of it applies to far more than fencing. We don’t study the sword and nothing else. We study the sword and EVERYTHING else. We look for connections between seemingly unrelated things to discover universal principles that apply to all things. If you’re interested in what a pair of classically trained Fencing Masters have to share about fencing, the sword, training, martial arts, combat theory, teaching, or how things are all connected, this is the place for you.
