We welcome anyone who wants to learn Medieval European Martial Arts and we operate an open-door policy, regarless of skill level, knowledge, race, gender, age, etc. The only people that we will not tolerate are bullies or time wasters.

We try to provide an atmosphere of growth and not mould our members into areas that they may not feel comfortable with. If you want to try something out then we, as a group, will support you in all your endeavors as much as possible - though support does not mean that we will do it all for you, but we will try and help.

The main training itself takes place every Sunday morning 10-12. Just let us known when you'd plan to turn up for the first time. We use one of two locations and you can get details of these in the FAQ section of our Forum. The calendar on our home page will let you know the location for any specific date.

The first session is free and after that there is charge per session. If you become a full member then there's an option to pay a discounted monthly fee. In addition we have several Study Groups with which members can get involved with - these cover various things from research and historical studies to additional training.

At the start there isn't any need for equipment as anything required will be loaned, but later you will need to invest in your own equipment. We can advise on that.

The core training itself covers the teachings of Fiore dei Liberi (c 1410). The whole system covers:

- Unarmed
- Unarmed v Dagger
- Dagger v Dagger
- Dagger v Sword
- Sword used one-handed
- Sword used two-handed
- Half Swording
- Pole Arms, Spears, etc.
- And, potentially, mounted.

The entire system is integrated, (so, for example unarmed techniques working within the sword techniques).

Before turning up to your first session, we would ask that you let the Secretary know by email.
