Ever talked about or wanted to learn to fight like your favourite character from film, book or game? Well, you can if you're up for the challenge...
We’ll show you the basics, giving you the confidence to wield a sword, learn the footwork, cuts, parries and thrusts and all based on genuine Historical European sources. We'll also look at developing your skills with the quarterstaff too.
