EMMA reviewed: Fundamentals of Italian fencing - Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA)

"Had a lovely day today even with the rain. We were met by two chickens before we met Jude, as we were early. Got to try different fencing moves, and got to see loads of different swords and had a great history to the experience. We had a tour of the grounds. Best thing is to give it a go and learn new things. Loved the chickens, they wanted to come say hi or to distract us. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming."

The English Country House responded:

"Emma, it was a real pleasure to meet you both today, and thank you so much for your kind words and review. You two are a wonderful team, you’re two lovely and deserving people and it would be our genuine pleasure if you stayed in touch, our gates will always be open to you both. 🙏🏻 All the very best for the future and success in all that you do.

Emma Mitchell reviewed: Fundamentals of Italian fencing - Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA)

"I booked this course for my 15 year old son Noah, who is a fan of all things medieval and has developed a particular interest in Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). Jude made us both feel very welcome and over the 3 hours Noah learned a lot, about both the history and the skills involved in Italian fencing. He thoroughly enjoyed every minute! Jude also talked to us about the history of his beautiful house and even allowed me to walk around the lovely peaceful garden while Noah enjoyed his lesson. We would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in history. Thank you so much Jude for such a wonderful experience. "

The English Country House responded:

"Hi Emma, Thank you for your lovely review, I’m glad you both had a good day. It was a genuine pleasure to meet you both, Noah is an impressive young man who was a natural with the blade, I wish you both the very brightest of futures. Best wishes. Jude "

Sue reviewed: Fundamentals of Italian fencing - Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA)

"Booked this course for my son and his friend. To say they had a great time was an understatement. Jude was an excellent teacher who had plenty of time and patience to go through the various moves. My son and his friend have both said they want to return for further tuition. "

The English Country House responded:

"Hi Sue, I thoroughly enjoyed working with the lads, they’re a great pair, fun and bright and absolute naturals at fencing! They’re welcome back anytime! Best wishes, Jude"
