The Fiore version of "come at me bro"

"Come then, one by one, who can do it. Even if you were one hundred, I would wound you all because of this guard, which is a great and powerful thing."

Half the places on our July beginners course are already gone, so if you've been thinking about giving it a go, now's the time to get in touch.

We opened this new night specifically to work through our waiting list, at one point people were waiting over a year to get a place with us, so we know from experience that spots won't hang around for long.

It's 4 sessions covering medieval longsword, dagger and wrestling, starting July 6th at 8pm, all for £35. No experience needed at all, just turn up and give it a try.

Drop us a message here or email [email protected] and we'll get you sorted.
