ABOUT YOUR SWORD SKILLS MEET AND GREET
Join us in Melbourne for one of the official Meet and Greet Events ... the much anticipated Swords Skills. What better a way if you are planning on attending solo to come and meet some of your fellow guests prior. Or of course bring your besite or your lucky male chaperone along for the fun. This is exactly what you have all been asking for ... read on!
SWORDSKILLS TICKETS
A very private group of only 42 attendees will be welcomed to a very private swordskills workshop. The event will take place at the Official Hotel - The Westin in Melbourne, in the "Westin Room 1"
We have small groups of 6 attendees and two coaches. We need a small number as you will be using real "prop" swords, and we need a lot of space around you.
We have Melbourne based Mosh Hewson, a current World Champion swordfighter and renowned Historical Fencing coach, who will be taking you through some of the magic of swordplay, allowing your body to flow strongly and experiencing all the power and grace of sword fighting.
The session will begin with learning first how to hold the sword and be safe with it, then learning some of the mechanics to overpower any strike, and how delicate and dance like you can be while using a Longsword.
There will also be a set photo opportunity to capture yourself with your sword and most importantly you get to make some great personal connections for any solo voyagers coming along alone. If you want to come with a partner or a friend that is fine too! The spirit of the day is to make sure you say hi to the other members (only 6 of you!) so you know at least a few extra faces to say hello to at the ball.
This is NON-CONTACT, there will be no bruises, and you will be standing so far apart from each other no sword will ever come into contact with a body.

- Entry to the Westin Room1 for the 45 minute session
- Collectable gift on arrival
