Winter Break
Our final Wednesday class of the year will be on 11/12/2024, with the final Thursday class being on 19/12/2024.
We will return to our regular schedule on the 8th and 9th January 2025.
Wednesday Night Training
Every wednesday 19:00-21:00
Held in the Main Hall on the ground floor to the left of the main doors.
Our wednesday lessons focus on 15th Century German Longsword, with occasional detours into other weapons of the period.
If you want to read more about these systems you can do so here.
Thursday Night Training
Every Thursday 19:00-21:00
Held in the Mid Hall, upstairs on the top floor.
Every Thursday we run a coached sparring night. This is primarily for more experience members who have the equipment required to spar at intensity.
Occasionally we will run other activities for such members like judging practice or classes in other systems, but these are secondary to the main goal which is to improve people abilities in sparring.
