Conquest: Sword of the Musketeers

6/25/2016

Comments

 
Hosted by Peter Woodward, Conquest is a TV series about weapons from throughout history. This show was recommended by Michael, our Training Committee Chair, who found it while doing research and thought it would be an interesting addition to the blog. Well, he thought right! 

Sword of the Musketeers is Episode 11 of  Season 1. It aired on March 30th, 2003​. Here's the synopsis from TV.com:
The classic cut-and-thrust of the Hollywood movies had a basis in reality. The cup-hilt rapier, with its light and flexible blade, did not require a left-hand dagger for defense.

​This was the sword of the French
 Musketeers and of the Spanish Conquistadors--the most feared swordsmen in Europe. Our team shows how the art and sport of fencing began with this weapon, and compares the reality of the weapon with the myth of its use. Hosted by actor and fight master Peter Woodward. 
You can watch the full episode in three parts below!
Thank you to Michael for the excellent recommendation, and thank you for watching with us!

To Friends and Family in the Aftermath of the Pulse Pride Shooting

LANCE is an Orlando-based company, and many of our members call Orlando home. In the early hours of this morning, our home was attacked by a terrorist, and our friends and loved ones were made to feel horror, fear, and sadness in the wake of his actions. LANCE may be a stage combat troupe, but we are a community first, and we are heart-broken at the violence of this awful tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and survivors of this hate crime. We stand with you.

We hope to donate our time and perhaps water/snacks to the blood banks during this crucial time. If any of our members have more ideas on how to help, please comment either here on the blog or through our Facebook page.
​
Stay safe, friends.

Hosted by Peter Woodward, Conquest is a TV series about weapons from throughout history. This show was recommended by Michael, our Training Committee Chair, who found it while doing research and thought it would be an interesting addition to the blog. Well, he thought right! 

Tournament is Episode 1 of Season 1. It aired on December 15th, 2002​. Here's the synopsis from TV.com:
One of the quintessential images of medieval life, the tournament lasted well into Tudor times. Actor and fight master Peter Woodward investigates the purpose of these extraordinary and colorful events and how its many forms--the foot tourney, joust on horseback, the melee--developed from the ancient trial of combat. Our team experiments with weapons and armor designed for tournament, examines the rules of combat and the notion of chivalry, and joins a medieval tournament team for a joust on horseback!
You can watch the full episode in three parts below!
