This course will be run by Rob, an experienced HEMAist and instructor normally focusing on British Military weaponry a.  The over-arching theme of the course is learning how to be a safe member of our club, and enjoying yourself! Once you have completed the course, a brief safety grading and joined the club proper, a number of different weapons will be open to you, ranging from arming sword through to longsword, saber, various pole arms. The options are (almost) limitless!

Please note that there may be some breaks in the course due to public holiday weekends and upcoming events.

All our courses and indeed the club itself are run by volunteers; all proceeds go to keeping the club running.
