About the Event
This course will be run by Nicola an experienced instructor and successful competitor in NZ HEMA tournaments, and will primarily cover both single handed swords, sabre and sidesword (4 weeks) and the two handed long sword (2 weeks) finishing with a tournament format grading. Once you have completed the course, and the 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.
All our courses and indeed the club itself are run by volunteers; all proceeds go to keeping the club running. $200 course fee
