A fun and functional tradition. This exercise helps train proper body mechanics (in particular, powering with the hips), because the more you tire, the more impractical it becomes to rely on power from just the arms. #hema #calgary #martialarts #yyc11 Mar 2025 14:48 +0000at://did:plc:daxejtkpynpfmnuqgddfar2m/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk4cqihrg22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/calgary.forgewma.com/post/3lixvutqgns2nEarlier this month we participated in All Sprt One City, an event by Sport Calgary that encourages people to try different activities. We had sessions on messer, longsword, and lightsabre. You can see here participants practicing their cuts, and even some sparring with dussacks and lightsabres.25 Feb 2025 03:21 +0000at://did:plc:daxejtkpynpfmnuqgddfar2m/app.bsky.feed.post/3lixvutqgns2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/calgary.forgewma.com/post/3lgtevzv75c24We received Bronze in Martial Arts for CommunityVotes - Calgary 2024!
