SKIRMISHING



Skirmishing is a fun, fast, and furious game of swashbuckling swordplay: a ritualised form of combat,

 

which might best be described as a cross between the sports of fencing and tennis

 

 

It takes its influence from classical/sports sabre, single-stick, a study of historical  and military fencing

 

manuals and explores the use of the sword in the most unforgiving situation imaginable (think: naval

 

boarding action – dear God, and pass the rum!), one where the player is placed in a position of constant

 

peril and is thus pushed to the limit of their knowledge, skill, capabilities and artistry.

 

 

Played with "cutlases" and scored like a tie-break game in tennis, the Skirmish allows players from

 

all sword-based disciplines to test themselves on an even playing field.
