KDF Leeds

Leeds chapter of KDF International & European Historical Combat Guild, at the Royal Armouries, Leeds

KDF International is an association of like-minded clubs whose aim is to promote the study, development, and practice of the martial arts tradition of medieval and renaissance Germany, in particular those of the Master Johannes Liechtenauer. These martial arts have been preserved in numerous treatises and have been unearthed, transcribed, translated and interpreted into a modern understanding of a

subtle, dynamic, and effective martial arts system that looks at the use of a number of weapons of the time as well as wrestling. Founded in 2006, KDF was born from a desire to focus attention on Liechtenauer's works as well as bringing a dynamic approach to training, adding the use of protection as well as free play exercises and bouts to drill and practice as a part of trying to triangulate a truth within their interpretations.
