Traditional and Combative courses are usually a one to five-day, intensive process the average being two days. After the first day, one should be able to grasp the basic dynamics of traditional and combative sword techniques and mind-sets. Once your muscle memory sets in, it will be easier to practice and teach with strong presence.
By the end of day two you should be able to show improvement along with confidence while learning additional sword protocols and nuances. When you have accomplished these requirements you are ready to be certified.
Instructors can choose to study only the traditional aspect, only the combative aspect or they can decide to learn both traditional and combative.
