How to fight with sword and shield! Order of the Blade Sword and Board Masterclass 2023
7How to use a sword and shield 101.
Whether it be a Viking round shield, or the knightly Heater shield, Fred and Rob from the Order of the Blade cover a variety of guard positions and attack options that you too can use in your sword and shield sparring.
Fred and Rob don't or can't read books (not sure which) so everything they're showing us here is thanks to four years of beating each other around the head, legs and the rest, a method at the Order we know as: Percussive Education.
