We try to revive the lost art of European weapons combat from historic texts, and compete in judged competition. The sport attracts a wide variety of attendees, from academics to professional competitors. We feel it is crucial that everyone approaches it in their own way, you will not be pressured into a situation you are not comfortable with, but we also approve of getting stuck in and 'learning by doing'. Sessions involve practice drills, sparring and team games. We have both foam and blunt steel swords, and a wide variety of protective equipment.
