About the Event
This course will be run by Greg, a former chief instructor, and will introduce both sigle handed swords and sabres and the two handed longsword covering a period of history stretching from the renasiance to the Napoleonic wars. 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 and indeed using any of the above with a shield. 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.
