〜ライトバトルトーナメント〜

『 ブレード・オブ・ザ・ドラゴン 201８』

中世の剣術を現代に蘇らせたヒストリカルなスポーツ

ぜひ会場でご観戦ください！

キャッスル・ティンタジェルは、歴史的な資料に基づいた中世西洋の剣術および文化を再現し、教え伝えている日本で初めてのスクールです。

6月１７日にライトバトルトーナメント『ブレード・オブ・ザ・ドラコン』を開催いたします。ライトバトルとは、中世のバトルテクニックを使用したスポーツ（Medieval Battle Sports）のうち、ロングソード（両手剣）やソード＆シールド（片手剣＋盾）、ポールアーム（槍または鉾槍）を使い、鎧を着けずに戦う剣術スタイルです。

２５ｋｇから３０ｋｇもの鎧を着て戦うアーマードバトルに比べ、平服を想定したフェンシングジャケットはわずか２～４ｋｇ。その分、スピードは上がり、肘や手首のしなやかさを生かした繊細なテクニックも数多く登場します。

ライトバトルトーナメントは、すべてデュエル（決闘）形式、すなわち１対１で行います。
鎧を脱ぎ捨てた騎士たちの、華麗な剣技の数々をぜひお楽しみください！
