Episode 04 - Springeck Interviews Pt2

On April 23rd and 24th I had the opportunity to go to Springeck, an event in Wanaque, NJ, hosted by the NJ Historical Fencing Association. I had a blast free-sparring, learning and even got the chance to interview several people over the weekend. In this episode, I interviewed Eric White from the New Jersey Historical Fencing Association, Ben Lehman and Chris Taylor both from the Wisconsin Historical Fencing association, and Jim Brooks from Broken Plow in Pittsburgh. Eric White is the Principle instructor at the New Jersey Historical Fencing Association. He organized Springeck and we have him to thank for putting it all together. He also received the distinction of being a Journeyman in the Historical Fencing Affiliates at Springeck this year. Ben Lehman is now a Senior Free Scholar at the Wisconsin Historical Fencing Association having played his prize at Springeck. Chris Taylor is also from the Wisconsin Historical Fencing Association, and is the 2016 Springeck King, having won Balloon Wars. Jim Brooks is with Broken Plow Western Martial Arts. He helped to found Broken Plow a couple of years ago with Josh Parise. You can visit the NJ HFA website here, and the WHFA website here. The Historical Fencing Affiliate's Charter can be found here.
