The Vanguard Centre

We run regular classes, seminars and other events at the Vanguard Centre, in our full-time training venue near Glasgow city centre. Just south of the Clyde, within 10 minutes walking distance of Central Station, our venue is well-situated and easy to reach. Our attendance fees are very competitive, and we have an onsite shop where you can see, handle, and try on gear before making any commitments to purchase anything.

We have our own indoor archery range, letting us offer archery in Glasgow city centre. We also teach various forms of medieval and renaissance sword fighting, as part of the British historical fencing community. Our instructors are experienced and well-recognised across the UK, Europe, and even further abroad.

We also run courses demonstrating various forms of traditional crafting, including blacksmithing – we have our own forge, so we can teach this ancient skill.

Wouldn’t it be cool to arrange a stag party for a friend, spending an afternoon learning how to fight with swords? Contact us today to find out how we can help!
