01 / LIVING MEYER

A book to study.
An art to practice.

Living Meyer brings historical fencing, practical training, and research into conversation. The work continues through reading, questioning, practicing, and meeting other fencers.

Come for a workshop. Follow a line of research. Meet us at a Fechtschule. There is more than one way into the art.
