This year's WTF will be hosted in Ashen Spire on Saturday, September 13 from 10am until 5pm.

I'll be releasing the full schedule of classes shortly but there will be less classes this year than in previous years, with more focus on providing students the opportunity to use the new skills they're picking up. Expect lots of good fighting and wonderful attitudes.

No Pole class this year? Or is it a part of Deimos's Tourney class in second session?

Also "12:30: Breakout session/ditching and opportunity to acquire food" will there be various Houses/Companies/Lands selling sack/hot lunches for a fee? Or do we all need to send runners to various local dining establishments aka fend for ourselves?

I'll be providing drinks for people to stay hydrated but for food people are on their own. I know there are several fast food places within a square mile of that park.

If someone wants to provide food for the group I'm happy to oblige them.

These days the only thing I teach people who want to improve their polearm fighting is pretty much "Go ditch and refuse to let teammates assist you." Learn how to deal with the rushing shieldman. Learn how to deal with multiple attackers. Learn how to get yourself into and out of trouble. In doing all that, you will also learn how to fight AGAINST polearms as well.

As for my class, its going to be more lecture/theory than technique. So if anyone is looking for the sure-fire easy-win strategy, they're best off in another class.

I spent time at SKBC getting tips from some of the best sword knights to help teach these classes.
The How to fight a Lefty class will be more of a lefty/righty combination class so I encourage lefties to attend as well as any good How to fight a Lefty class is also a How to fight a righty class
