About this Event
As a woman, picking up a new contact sport can be daunting. We get it! This is how our new women-only introductory course was born. Its program is designed for complete beginners and tailored for women by women; it aims to introduce the new starters to all the main aspects of the sport in a safe beginner-friendly environment.

What the is Armoured combat?
Inspired by medieval knight's tourneys, armoured combat combines historical armour and weapons with a modern ruleset to create a new, adrenaline fueled full-contact sport. It is sometimes referred to as 'armoured MMA', as the fighters are allowed to combine fencing techniques with Judo, Muay Thai, and other martial arts moves – all wearing a full suit of steel armour.

Meet the Hellions
We are Hellions, a UK female armoured combat team based in Gloucester. We love fighting, silly jokes, talking about food, and foxes. You'll learn why.
Hellions appeared on the UK fighting scene back in 2019 when the three of us stood side by side in the list for the very first time. It's been a long and truly amazing journey since. Together, we've travelled many miles to compete all over the UK and Europe supporting each other through thick and thin – and just having a good time!
The course [18+]
The on-ramp course consists of 4 sessions held on four consecutive Tuesday nights. We'll use soft protective pads and soft weapons to cover all the basics you need to know to join our regular classes safely.
All the equipment is provided, so just put on your favourite gym kit, grab your water bottle, and head over to our HQ in Gloucester!
We'll be kicking off on Tue, 6th of May – the enrollment is now open and spots are limited, so grab yours before they are all gone!
