About the Event
This course will be run by Robert, ono of the club instructors, and will primarily be focused on British Military sabre of the Napoleonic wars. But we should also have time for a quick introduction to both long sword and rapier just to wet your appetites. 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, small sword, broad sword, 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.
