Exciting news! GRHS is getting back in the swing of things this fall!

We've confirmed with Caledonia public schools about hosting our meetups starting in September!
We will be in session Mondays from 7pm - 9pm.

The GRHS will be focused on learning general swordfighting, as well as looking at many weapon types. All of this of course also includes free sparring times!

Get an early start and sign up today!

This weekend is a large swordsmanship tournament in Chicago, the Midwinter Armizare Open 2020! Grand Rapids has a number of combatants representing our city and competing in various tournaments. Among them are Rob Soltesz and Jerry Berg. Both skilled swordsmen, Rob will be combating using a rapier and Jerry will use a longsword and a messer. Wish them both the best of luck!

What a great time last weekend at the Van Raalte Farm Civil War Muster! Civil War Swordsmanship studies are some of our favorite, so we love such a great opportunity to share our passion with the public!

It has been a while since we posted, but we've been working hard nonetheless. Here, a team from our Civil War Combat Study Group practices an exchange from Wartime Swordsmanship instructor, Thomas Stephens.
