This course will be run by Nico, our chief instructor, and will teach you the basics of saber, sidesword and longsword. 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.

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