How to Be a Hero

What is a hero? What does “hero” mean?
We define “hero" in a very specific way.
Understanding and practicing the skills required for being a hero can greatly improve your effectiveness.
Share this, and let’s get as many people as possible out there doing good things.
You can't do everything- but you can surely do SOMETHING.

#Fencing #MartialArts #Training #Heroes

===================

Welcome to the Swordmastery Channel!
I am Maître Linda Wyatt.
My Fencing Master, Maître Adam Adrian Crown, has 40+ years’ experience as a Fencing Master, and is also a 5th Degree Black Belt (Godan) in Chinese Goju Karate.
This channel shares our dedication to fencing as a martial art, or, if you will, martial arts, from the viewpoint of the sword.
The videos cover everything from specific technique, to philosophical discussions, to our teaching methods, and much of it applies to far more than fencing.
We don’t study the sword and nothing else.
We study the sword and EVERYTHING else.
We look for connections between seemingly unrelated things to discover universal principles that apply to all things.
If you’re interested in what a pair of classically trained Fencing Masters have to share about fencing, the sword, training, martial arts, combat theory, teaching, or how things are all connected, this is the place for you.
