Have you ever wondered how to fight like a Highlander? How did our ancestors use their broadsword and targe on the field of battle? Was the dirk really as useful as the stories suggest?
At our professional training centre in Glasgow, we offer regular weekly classes in fencing with the Scottish basket-hilted broadsword in the manner of the Highland regiments. We also teach the use of the broadsword and targe together, in the fashion of the Highland clansmen. Learning to fight like a Highlander has never been easier or more achievable!
At the Vanguard Centre, we have a very functional approach to historical sword fighting, by placingย a strong focus both on body mechanics and learning to use these historical techniques in the chaos of sparring and competition.
Our instructors have years of experience teaching historical sword fighting, and have taught at national and international events.
Feel free to come along to one of our regular weekly classes and have a go, or even sit and watch a session to see if it would be of interest to you. Get in touch if you would like to ask us any questions, or just come along and chat with the instructor on the night.
