VaMi Training Schedule from 15.09.2018

Hello everyone!

After a quick vote, it became clear the times will remain essentially the same. The training topics have however expanded and now include Sidesword and Sword & Buckler. It is now also possible to train Epee on Wednesdays at 19:30

Mondays 18:30-20.00:
Italian Longsword - Teachings on a set topic from Italian sources. May at times include Abrazare, Daga as well as some German teachings for spice at times. Everyone welcome!

Wednesdays 18:30-20:00
"Pick Your Weapon": Teachings on a set topic for Longsword, Sidesword (Early Rapier) and Sword and Buckler. You can train with the weapon of your choice as long as there are at least 2 people who want to use that weapon. Free sparring and/or Drills from 19.30, at which time Epee fencers will claim half the Salle. Light sparring with focus on technique is encouraged. Everyone welcome!

Wednesdays 19:30-21:00
Epee sportfencing on a set topic. Please contact VaMi to get contact info for trainers since the outside door is often locked after 19.00. Everyone welcome!

Thursdays 18:30-20:00
Sparring - Drills and exercises at full speed and in full gear. Own gear and weapon recommended. The goal is to transfer the drills into your fighting so you can use it in practice, not just theory. If there are drills, they are quite high pace and not a lot of explaining, so be prepared to be confused and/or tired afterwards.

---

As always, please come as often as you want even if you do not have your own gear. It is always possible to train even if you do not yet have your own gear or don't feel like you want to sparr yet.

As Liechtenauer taught: "Your exercise does well without the art, but the art is not much good without the exercise". Only half the Salle will normally be reserved for sparring so there is always room to train. The Pells are always ready, and (perfect) practice makes perfect.

See you all at the Salle!

-Sebastian

New training schedule for Longsword!

Hello everyone!

Since we are lucky to have a lot of participants (yey!) that means we all have different levels of experience, so we are changing the training schedule to make sure that the teachings are appropriate for both beginners and members alike. This way the teaching will hopefully not be too hard and confusing, nor too easy. Instead, there should always be something for everyone.

The times remain the same but the contents are the following:

---

Mondays 18:30:
Beginner's course and continuation, Theory and the source Manuscripts. Currently focusing on the teachings of Fiore dei Liberi. No previous experience needed.

Wednesdays 18:30
Advanced lessons, Drills and Exercises, own Feder recommended. Quite high pace and not a lot of explaining, so be prepared to be confused and/or tired afterwards. Sparring from 19:30.

Thursdays 18:30
Drills and exercises at full speed and in full gear. The goal is to transfer the drills into your fighting so you can use it in practice, not just theory. Own gear recommended. Sparring from 19:30.

---

As always, please come as often as you want even if you do not have your own gear. It is always possible to train even if you do not yet have your own gear or don't feel like you want to sparr yet.

As Liechtenauer taught: "Your exercise does well without the art, but the art is not much good without the exercise". Only half the Salle will normally be reserved for sparring so there is always room to train. The Pells are always ready, and practice makes perfect.

See you all at the Salle!

Training times are:

Mondays, 18:30: New material

Wednesdays, 18:30: Manuscript study and Theory

The Longsword beginners course will most likely start at the middle/end of September. Probably as a weekend course with optional monday trainings for 10 weeks after that. 

More info on that coming soon!

VaMi at Vaasa's Night of Arts

VaMi will be participating in the Night of Arts where we will have a small booth next to the City Hall. Come by and say hi!

If you are interested in a beginner's course, make sure to check this page later on! The next beginner's course will be held during early Autumn and info will be added here when available. You can sign up for receiving email updates through the link on the right. Also check out our facebook page here.

Members Area now opened!

A separate page has now been added for VaMi members where things like training videos can be accessed. The videos and any other resources are only available through the link on the page and the page is only accessible with the password. You can find the Members Area from the main menu. Analysis of the videos is encouraged! :)

T-shirts, Xmas and Chocolate!

On Thursday 17.12 at 18:30, training will be ending for 2015! Next training after that will be on 07.01.2016!

Instead of normal training 17.12 we will be having our traditional little Xmas-party, with mulled wine (Glögg/Glögi), gingerbread cookies, silly games and Sauna! VaMi will bring the mulled wine and gingerbread cookies, but bring more snacks, drinks and/or a towel if you want!

You can also sponsor VaMi this year by buying a box of chocolate balls (enter obligatory Southpark reference here) for 7€. They are dangerously delicious! Boxes are found at the Salle.

Also, T-shirts will be ordered according to who wants them! Final discussion about logo/motto etc. to be held at the party! See you there!

Training is starting!

Training as normal starting tomorrow wednesday 26.08!

The usual training times for HEMA and Sportfencing mentioned below still apply:

Mondays: 18:30 HEMA and 20:00 Sportfencing (Epee)
Wednesdays: 18:30 HEMA (Research) and 19:30 Sportfencing (Epee)
Thursday: 18:30 HEMA (Sparring-focused training)

Hope to see you all in the Salle!

VaMi is officially on summer break!

No scheduled fencing until after the summer! Announcement will be made here and on the VaMi facebook page when regular training resumes.

Mikko and Sebastian have keys to the Salle, so if anyone of us can train on a certain day during summer (and the weather permits) we will post on the VaMi facebook page. Reply if you are up for some training! We will probably get equipment from the Salle and train outside in that case, since the Salle gets awfully hot during warm summer days.

Hoping to see you in the park some time during summer!

VaMi is now running at 50% power!

Just in case anyone still missed it, VaMi is "almost" on summer holiday right now, with trainings only in HEMA, and only on Mondays and Wednesdays at 18:30.

There will still be training held for a week or two. After that, training will be held at random intervals in the Orthodox Church park when enough people feel like coming. :)

Summer is coming!
