Whatever type of HEMA sword-fighting you practise, there are several general sword skills that are always worth improving.

In this class, you will be able to revisit your fundamentals, you will get plenty of practice of techniques and sequences, and you will be able to work on developing the strength, stamina, and fluidity of motion that we all need in our sparring!

This session is intended for people who already know some techniques and movements, and who would appreciate another opportunity during the week to work on the basics and to put in the training necessary for developing skill as a historical fencer.

Current schedule – until 19/09/2021
