National Theatre - Swords And Chivalry

Kevin and I watched a demonstration about sword fighting in the Helen Hayes Gallery at the National Theatre. There were two stage combat experts that showed various swords and sword-fighting moves of knights, pirates and buccaneers. We learned that there are many names and uses of different types of swords, and that sword chivalry is not only a skill, but a refined art as well. The demonstration was both entertaining and informative.
