An idea for a workshop that has been long in the making and will be happening in early 2025. The last time two groups of soldiers fought each other with swords was World War 2. Come and try out both Japanese and Chinese sword techniques made for fighting bayonet charges, and other swords.

We are launching a syllabus for students that train with us. We will draw on a number or manuscripts across the German tradition to help build out a rounded multi weapon and unarmed curriculum. #medievalcombat #medievalselfdefence #hema #medievalmartialarts
