Celebration of friendship and Fabris

On the weekend before the Australasian Historical Swordplay Federation conference, Tom had a chance to meet Mr. Julian Clark, a fellow Fabris enthusiast and a friend who lives on the other side of the world, and his wife Christine who shares Tom's other major passion, 18th-Century music. As a celebration of this meeting, Julian invited a handful of friends to share our common devotion to Fabris and exchange notes on the Master's life, teachings and techniques. Among those attending this "reunion party" were some young students of Julian's, who greatly impressed us with their knowledge, passion and technical ability. We are very proud of Julian and of the way he has nurtured an excellent Fabris curriculum in Australia.
