On April 23rd and 24th I had the opportunity to go to Springeck,
an event in Wanaque, NJ, hosted by the NJ Historical Fencing
Association. I had a blast free-sparring, learning and even got the
chance to interview several people over the weekend.
In today's episode, I interviewed Tom and Zack from the NJ
Historical Fencing Association,
"http://www.wi-hfa.org/aaron-bio.shtml" target="_blank">Aaron
Pynenberg from the Wisconsin Historical Fencing Association in
Appleton, and
target="_blank">Jeremiah Backhaus from the Wisconsin Historical
Fencing Association in West Bend.
Aaron Pynenberg is the founder of the Wisconsin Historical
Fencing Association, as well as the Historical Fencing affiliates.
He has been involved in HEMA for about 15 years or so. At Springeck
he taught a class "Finishing the Dagger fight" where he used modern
self defense with historical technique to stabilize, control, and
finish an opponent where the historical masters left off.
Jeremiah Backhaus is a Provost in the Wisconsin Historical
Fencing Association. At Springeck this year he taught a class on
Ringen called "Wrestling Away," where he introduced techniques and
basics for those who feel "Ringen is not for me."
