Patrick Bratton
I've known Patrick for awhile and found him not only an excellent fencer but an excellent student, a fine scholar and a tireless advocate of historical fencing. One thing that we always look for in instructors for the event is an understanding of the history, context, culture and principles of French Smallsword in this regard Patrick is exceptional. The other thing we look for is a good feeling for the art of fencing pedagogy . I don't think we could have done better than Patrick. He has the experience and the "chops" that guarantee an interesting and productive class.
Patrick will be teaching highlights from lessons fifteen through twenty-two from La Boëssière'. These lessons include includes techniques like Beats, Threats, Ripostes "Tac au Tac " and Attacks over the Point and more.
